The Chair Conservative Dean Allison

We're going to move to set up the subcommittee of committee budgets. The subcommittee will be comprised of the chair and the vice-chair, and then we'll need five additional individuals.

I want to mention who those individuals were before. They were Mr. Merrifield, Mr. Lauzon, Mr. Hanger, Mr. Wappel, and Mr. Szabo. I don't know if we want to proceed in the same fashion with those individuals and, if that's the case, whether those people want to remain.

1:10 p.m.

Some hon. members

Agreed.
