First of all, thank you. I want to thank each one of you for the confidence shown in me to be the chair. It was a pleasure for me to serve as the vice-chair in the last Parliament.
I want to say that I have appreciated Mr. Patry in this position in years gone by. I think he has always tried to work with as much consensus as possible, and we have always had a great working relationship.
Not every committee in a minority government works that way. Certainly it takes a great deal of patience sometimes, and each member must decide that they're going to make this thing work. We look forward to it.
We have a choice. My suggestion is that we proceed with the routine motions. I think each member has a copy of the motions. No, not yet?
