Please take good care of yourself. It's nice to see you online.

We have one item to discuss before we move in camera, if everyone agrees. There are 18 routine motions.

Yes, Mr. Maloney.

Thank you, Madam Chair.

In the interest of saving 17 motions, I move:

That the routine motions adopted by the committee at its meetings on Friday, April 8, 2022, and September 27, 2022, and in effect at the time the committee ceased to exist on February 15, 2023, be deemed adopted provided that the committee be empowered to alter or rescind such motions as it deems appropriate.

The Joint Chair Hon. Yonah Martin

You took the words out of my mouth. That's perfect.

Great minds think alike.

The Joint Chair Hon. Yonah Martin

Is it your pleasure, honourable colleagues, to adopt this motion?

(Motion agreed to)

These 18 routine motions have been adopted.

At this time, colleagues, we've finished our main order of business for this evening, which was to organize ourselves. I want to thank all of you for your confidence in me and my colleague to co-chair this committee.

It's nice to see some familiar faces as well as some new faces—but not new to the committee, per se.

If it's agreed, we will conclude this portion and go in camera.

6:40 p.m.

Voices

Agreed.
