Pursuant to Standing Order 111.1(1), the committee will now consider the proposed appointment of Charles Robert to the position of Clerk of the House of Commons. We have with us today the proposed appointee, Mr. Charles Robert. He is currently the interim Clerk of the Senate and Clerk of the Parliaments and chief legislative services officer.
We'll go no later than 12:45 p.m., because we have to finish our electoral reform report today in the last 15 minutes.
Mr. Robert, if you would like to make some opening comments, the floor is yours.
