Good morning. My name is Lucile McGregor, and I'm the clerk of the committee.
Honourable members of the committee, I see a quorum.
You may want to refer to the agenda that was circulated to you.
We're going to begin with the election of the chair.
Standing Order 106(2) provides for the following:[...] each standing or special committee shall elect a Chair and two Vice-Chairs, of whom the Chair shall be a Member of the government party, the first Vice-Chair shall be a Member of the Official Opposition, and the second Vice-Chair shall be a Member of an opposition party other than the Official Opposition party.
I am ready to accept motions for the election of the chair.
Mr. Reid.
