I wish to welcome everybody. The MPs have been away in their ridings, and I know that they are thrilled to be back in our nation's capital.
Before we start, I want to recognize that we're on the unceded territory of the Algonquin people.
We have a little bit of committee business to do before we hear from the department, and that is to elect the vice-chair. I'll turn this over to our new clerk, Mike, and we will proceed from there.
It's all yours.
