Good morning, everyone.
I'm going to call this meeting to order. Our first business of the day is the election of a new vice-chair.
First of all, I'd like to welcome Guy Caron, the new member of our committee representing the New Democratic Party.
We will proceed to the election of a chair.
I just want to comment to you, Mr. Caron, that it was really an honour and privilege to have Madame Laverdière serving with us over the last four years. We did a lot of good work over that time, and a lot of that was due to her efforts. So welcome, and I'm sure we're going to be having an equally productive time with you on the committee.
