Colleagues and friends, I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 107 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Industry and Technology.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the Standing Orders.
Before I introduce our witnesses, we have one quick piece of business, the election of the second vice‑chair. Pursuant to Standing Order 106(2), the second vice‑chair must be a member of an opposition party other than the official opposition.
I am now prepared to receive motions for the second vice‑chair. Can someone submit Mr. Garon's name?
Colleagues, I need someone to....
It's Mr. Bittle.
It has been moved by Mr. Bittle that Jean‑Denis Garon be elected as second vice‑chair of the committee.
Since there are no other motions, do I have the unanimous consent of the committee to elect Mr. Garon as second vice‑chair?
