There's a motion by Mr. Laurie Hawn to elect Maxime Bernier. Are there any other motions? Is it the pleasure of the committee to adopt the motion?
(Motion agreed to)
Before we invite Mr. Bernier to take the chair, we will proceed with the election of the vice-chairs.
For the first vice-chair, who, as you know, under Standing Order 106(2) must be a member of the official opposition, I'm ready to take motions to that effect.
