Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. It's a pleasure to be here again.
I thank you, Mr. Bevilacqua, for your words.
Welcome, Mr. Coderre. I'm looking forward to your experience and wisdom that you've had in the past. We're a pretty good group here. I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have to decide what to do. Before you are routine motions. On Wednesday, March 3, 2010, the House of Commons adopted the following order:
That, for all standing committees, routine motions in effect at the time of prorogation of the previous session be deemed to have been adopted in the current session, provided that committees be empowered to alter or rescind such motions as they deem appropriate.
Accordingly, the routine motions that were in effect at the time of prorogation are reinstated. The clerk will reflect the House order in the minutes of this meeting. The committee can, if it chooses, amend any of these motions.
Finally, for information purposes, the clerk has distributed a copy of the motions to all committee members. Indeed, I think those motions are before you. If there are changes wished, please speak now. Otherwise we will move on.
Mr. Karygiannis.
