Honourable members of the committee, good afternoon. It's very nice to see everyone.
At this time I see a quorum.
I must inform members that the clerk of the committee can receive motions only for the election of the chair. The clerk cannot receive other types of motions or entertain points of order, nor can they participate in debate.
If everyone's ready 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'm now ready to receive motions.
Go ahead, Mr. Redekopp.
