Thank you, Madam Chair.
Honourable members of the committee, I must inform members that the clerk of the committee can only receive motions for the election of vice-chair. The clerk cannot receive other types of motions, cannot entertain points of order, nor participate in debate.
Pursuant to Standing Order 106(2), the first vice-chair must be a member of the official opposition.
I am now prepared to receive motions for the first vice-chair.
