Information & Ethics Committee on Jan. 30th, 2018

[The Chair, Conservative, Bob Zimmer]

Good morning, everybody. We have some new members of the committee.

Welcome.

First of all, we have to elect a vice-chair. For the NDP, Charlie Angus is the member. We need to have an election.

I'll pass this over to Jean-Denis.

[The Clerk of the Committee, Mr. Jean-Denis Kusion]

Thank you, Chair.

Pursuant to Standing Order 106(2), the second vice-chair must be a member of an opposition party other than the official opposition. I'm now prepared to receive a motion for the second vice-chair.

[Nathaniel Erskine-Smith, Liberal, Beaches—East York, ON]

I nominate Charlie Angus.

[The Clerk]

Mr. Erskine-Smith has moved that Charlie Angus be elected as second vice-chair of the committee. Is it the pleasure of the committee to adopt the motion?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[The Clerk]

I declare the motion carried and Charlie Angus duly elected second vice-chair of the committee.

[Some hon. members]

Hear, hear!

[An hon. member]

That is unanimous.

[Charlie Angus, NDP, Timmins—James Bay, ON]

That's the only time that's going to happen.

[The Chair, Conservative, Bob Zimmer]

We're going to suspend to go in camera.
