We're in session.
While people are getting organized, I'll go over the formalities.
In a minute, we're going to have a vote on the estimates. Before we do that, I will introduce our witnesses.
We're going to resume our study of initiatives toward an inclusive, efficient House of Commons.
Our witnesses are here by video conference from the United Kingdom's House of Commons. I would like to welcome David Natzler, Clerk of the House of Commons; Anne Foster, head of diversity and inclusion; and Joanne Mills, diversity and inclusion programme manager and nursery liaison officer.
Before we begin, I would like to thank the clerk for drawing our attention to the work of Professor Sarah Childs, who's completing her report on reforms that would make the U.K. House of Commons a more inclusive institution.
You all got a note on that from the clerk. There are some advanced points she's looking at, and we look forward to seeing her report in the interim. It's very timely. She's doing a report. Someone has full-time work looking at modernizing the House of Commons.
I'm going to call the votes on the estimates.
HOUSE OF COMMONS
Vote 1—Program expenditures..........$307,196,559
(Vote 1 agreed to on division)
PARLIAMENTARY PROTECTIVE SERVICE
Vote 1—Program expenditures..........$56,313,707
(Vote 1 agreed to on division)
Shall I report the votes on the main estimates for 2016, less the amount voted in interim supply, to the House?
