Good afternoon, everybody. I see a quorum. It's nice to see this.
There's a perfect seat here that is looking desperately for a chair, so our first item of business will be to proceed with the election of a chair for this committee.
Just to let you know, pursuant to the standing order,
the member wishing to hold this position must be a member of the official opposition, in other words, of the Liberal party.
I am ready to receive motions to that effect.
Mr. Martin.
