First, I'll say thank you my colleagues, of course, and everybody on the committee for giving me the opportunity to hold this position.
I want to welcome everybody who was on the committee when we rose in June. It's good to see everybody back.
I want to welcome some new members to the committee.
I believe Mr. Calkins is going to be a full-time member on the Conservative side. Welcome, sir. We look forward to your knowledge and experience from the years you've spent here as an MP.
I want to welcome as well a colleague on the Liberal side, Colin Fraser. I look forward to your input.
Here today subbing for Mr. Hardy is the Honourable Kent Hehr. Good to see you today, sir.
With this, I'll ask us to suspend for a moment, so we can go in camera and discuss committee business.
