I call this meeting to order.
I see that we have quorum. I thank you for your attendance after the votes.
Colleagues, our first hour is devoted to our witness, Laurie Ogilvie. I anticipate doing some work with the committee in the second hour.
I take note that there are three motions that are potentially debatable today. Before you introduce your motion, I would ask you to do a courtesy to the clerk and to the chair by waiting until we advise you what is currently on the agenda with the committee. That way, when we have debate on the motions—if we have debate on the motions—it will at least be informed by what our commitments and our opportunities are at this point.
Could you do that, as a courtesy? The clerk works very hard to try to get us all together.
I just want to offer an apology, which might even be sincere.
