Madame Deschamps proposes Raymonde Folco for the vice-chair also.
Are there any further nominations?
Pursuant to Standing Order 106, since more than one candidate has been nominated for vice-chair I'm authorized to preside over the election of vice-chair by secret ballot. Before proceeding, I will briefly explain how the process will be conducted.
Nominations for vice-chair now being closed, I and my colleague, Jacques Lahaie, procedural clerk, will stand at either side of the table and issue ballots to the members. After members have written their choice on the ballot and deposited it in the box on the table, I will count the votes and announce the successful candidate. If no member receives a majority of the ballots, I will conduct another ballot. The same process may be used for the second vice-chair.
