Thank you for your support. It has been a lot of fun chairing this committee in the past. I expect that this time it will be even more fun.
As a rule, this committee has worked through consensus, usually, and we will continue to try to work that way.
I welcome our new members this year, the many new members who were not with us last year.
Thank you very much.
With your indulgence, we'll move to the routine proceedings of this committee and have some discussion as to what rules we will work under as a committee.
You have two documents in front of you. One is called “Routine Motions of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs”. Those are the motions we used during the last Parliament. You have another one called “Principal Routine Motions”, which is a standard template of what routine motions may be used. I think we'll follow the one that's marked “Routine Motions” of procedure and House affairs from the last Parliament and either make changes to them or accept them as they are.
First is analyst services. We need to pass a motion to accept our analysts as supplied by the Library of Parliament.
It is moved by Mr. Kerr.
(Motion agreed to)
