Thank you.
Having heard all of your comments, I believe that we have agreement to ask for the extensions. I will take the steps necessary to make that request of the House.
With that, I welcome our colleagues to the procedure and House affairs committee.
With redistribution, we've been doing well, so please feel free to speak to each other. If there is a need or a concern, then I will take my chairpersonship responsibility very seriously and let you know.
For our first panel, we have with us today Mr. Don Davies, MP, Vancouver Kingsway; Mr. Wilson Miao, MP, Richmond Centre; the Honourable Dr. Hedy Fry, MP, Vancouver Centre; Mr. Taleeb Noormohamed, MP, Vancouver Granville; and the Honourable Joyce Murray, MP, Vancouver Quadra.
You will each have four minutes for an opening statement. Feel free not to use the four minutes, but you are welcome to them, after which we will proceed to questions from committee members.
I will start with Mr. Davies.
Welcome.
