Thank you, colleagues, and again, welcome back. For some it is a welcome to the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development meeting number one.
According to the orders of the day, we have elected the chair and the two vice-chairs, and certainly I would congratulate those vice-chairs. It will be good to work with you, and we welcome all of you back.
We have a number of new members, and a special welcome to Mr. Dewar and Madame St-Hilaire. Mr. Martin is back and Mr. Chan, and Mr. Lebel, I think, will be joining us here later on.
We want to continue with the routine motions. I think they have been circulated. We may want to take a look at a couple of these that may change. In the last parliament we had meeting days that were back to back, and some of the routine motions we passed originally were passed because of the back-to-back dates. So please have a look at those, and I'll just check with the clerk.
The best way perhaps is to just go through the order here, and we'll look at the first one, the subcommittee on agenda. This is the steering committee. The motion is:
That the Chair, the two Vice-Chairs, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the member from the New Democratic Party do compose the Sub-Committee on Agenda and Procedure.
It's better known as the steering committee.
Does anyone have any comment? Would someone like to move it, if there's no problem with the makeup of that committee?
Madame Barbot.
