Before we start off here this morning, I want to say welcome back to those of you who have been on this committee before. I look forward to working with you once again. To those of you who are new to the committee or are just joining us for the first time, welcome as well.
I hope everyone had a great summer. We've got a lot of work to do, a lot of things to move forward on. We have some outstanding studies to complete and reports to present, I hope, to the House of Commons. I look forward to proceeding forward with those items.
For today's agenda, all we had was the election of the chair. I would propose that we convene a meeting of the steering committee to lay out the agenda going forward. I propose that for our next meeting we lay out that plan and come back to the whole committee on Thursday of next week with that agenda for the whole committee.
Does that meet with everyone's approval?
We will leave it with the clerk to make the arrangements to plan the steering committee meeting with the various members. Our next meeting of the whole committee will be on Thursday next week.
This is going to be our permanent room.
Mr. Allen.
