Honourable members of the committee, I see a quorum.
I must inform the members of the committee that the Joint Clerk of the Committee can receive motions only for the election of the chair.
The co-clerk cannot receive other types of motions, nor entertain points of order, nor participate in debate. We can now proceed to the election of the joint chair of the House of Commons.
Pursuant to Standing Order 106(2), the joint chair must be a member of the government party.
I am now ready to receive motions for the position of joint chair of the House of Commons.
Sir.
