Honourable members of the committee, I see there is a quorum.
Welcome to the committee. My name is Christine Holke David. I am the clerk of the committee. I am accompanied today by my colleague Michelle Tittley, who is also a clerk.
We can now proceed to the election of the chair.
Pursuant to Standing Order 106(2), the chair must be a member of the government party. I am ready to receive motions to that effect.
