Honourable members of the committee, good morning.
I see a quorum.
We can now proceed to the election of the chair.
I must inform the members that the clerk of the committee can only receive motions for the election of the chair. The clerk cannot receive any other types of motions, entertain points of order or participate in debate.
Pursuant to Standing Order 106(2), the chair must be a member of the government party. I am ready to receive motions to that effect.
