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.

The Chair Conservative Dean Allison
Okay. I'll propose that we have Mr. Szabo, Mr. Wappel, Mr. Merrifield, Mr. Lauzon, and Mr. Hanger, in addition to Ms. Sgro and me. Is that all right?
