Are there any other nominations?
As there are no other nominations, I declare Mr. Goodyear elected chair of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs.
Before inviting Mr. Goodyear to take the chair, we'll proceed to the election of the vice-chairs.
Standing Order 106(2) stipulates that the first vice-chair shall be a member of the official opposition and the second vice-chair a member of an opposition party other than the official opposition.
I am now ready to accept nominations for the first vice-chair.
Mr. Owen.
