Good morning, colleagues. We will begin our meeting. We do have quorum now, so everybody can take their seats and we will get started.
First of all, I want to welcome everybody to, technically, our first meeting of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs. I want to remind members that the chair met informally on Monday with Mr. Proulx, Mr. Guimond, Mr. Godin, and Mr. Lukiwski. We did have a brief conversation about the way the committee would proceed.
I also want to tell members this morning that this meeting is in this particular room at the request of some members. The meeting is being held in public and is being televised.
I suggest that this morning we start with our routine motions as that is the typical way for a meeting to start up. You have in front of you the generic motions that we tend to adopt. I'm asking members to read through them as well. The clerk has provided members with a copy of what this committee adopted last year so you can refer to both. I will be looking for a mover of each motion. If colleagues would be kind enough to move each motion, read the motion into the record, then give me the opportunity to ask members to accept the motion, we'll move to the next one. Following that, we'll proceed with planning our work.
Is it acceptable to members that we proceed in that fashion?
