Thank you so much for allowing me to continue to serve in this capacity. It's been a good committee and something that I've been looking forward to getting back to.
It's great to see each one of you, and we look forward to having a good and productive committee for the next number of months.
It's good to have a new member of our committee; Mark Strahl, thanks for joining us. We look forward to working with you.
I thought it would be helpful if we could get through the routine motions of the committee. You will have had circulated the motions as they stood prior to when we left. I'm not sure if anybody wants to move the entirety of the existing motions as they were.
Ms. Crowder.

We don't have the whole list. For example, we don't have the rotation of the speakers on these routine motions.

The Chair Conservative Chris Warkentin
I don't have that either.
Give me a second. We don't want to revisit if we don't have to. It would be helpful.

We would be taking it on faith that it was exactly the same as the other, but we don't actually have it in front of us.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Chris Warkentin
Well, here's a question. Could we have a motion moved that we adopt every motion from the last Parliament?

I know there are a couple of different routine motions that have been proposed in addition to what was there previously, but I was thinking if we could just simply adopt all of the routine motions as they were to begin with.... We won't reference any particular document; we'll simply accept what was, to continue.

The routine motions that we passed at the start-up of the last committee.
