If I may, Mr. Chair, there are two points to raise.
The first is that you could ask, when you have an opportunity, one of your staffers to email the OGGO inbox with your cellphone number. In the event I need to communicate with you privately, that would give an opportunity for us to do so.
Committees are not obliged to proceed to the election of vice-chairs after the election of the chair; however, committees often do. It's entirely at the committee's discretion whether it proceeds to the election of vice-chairs now or to routine motions. My recommendation would be that we deal with the vice-chair issue and then the routine motions, but, again, it's in the hands of the committee.
