I'm happy to go through these routine proceedings. I'm hoping they're relatively quick because we do have officials here, and I'm looking to be briefed. I would refer you, Mr. Chair, to the unanimous consent motion where it reads, “following the election of the Chair and Vice Chairs, the committee shall proceed to a briefing from officials”.
Although the routine proceedings are helpful, if they are going to continue like this I'd rather just get to the officials, who have spent valuable time coming here today.
