Thank you very much, colleagues.
Congratulations, Mr. Pacetti and Mr. Paillé, on being elected vice-chairs.
I'll just read the following. On Wednesday, March 3, 2010, the House of Commons adopted the following order:
That, for all standing committees, routine motions in effect at the time of prorogation of the previous session be deemed to have been adopted in the current session, provided that committees be empowered to alter or rescind such motions as they deem appropriate.
Accordingly, the routine motions--which all of you should have in front of you--that were in effect at the time of prorogation are reinstated. The clerk will reflect the House order in the minutes of this meeting. The committee can, if it chooses, amend any of these motions.
Finally, for information purposes, the clerk has obviously distributed a copy of the motions to all committee members.
Do we need a motion to that effect? No?
Colleagues, I just need to know the will of the committee as to whether we want to proceed to committee business today or do so on Thursday. We do have three motions by Mr. McCallum. I believe we can deal with them fairly quickly.
