That was one of the easiest elections I've gone through thus far in my political career.
I want to thank you for the trust you have placed in me and for electing me unopposed.
I will try to be a chair who is polite, respectful, and even-handed. I will do this job with honour and, most of the time, enthusiasm. I might make a few mistakes, so you've been warned.
It's my first time chairing the committee, so I look forward to it. Thank you very much.
The floor goes to the clerk for the election of the vice-chairs.
