Pursuant to Standing Order 106(1), this meeting has been called in order to elect a chair.
I can only receive motions for the election of the chair. I cannot receive other types of motions, entertain points of order, or participate in debate.
Standing Order 106(2) stipulates that at the commencement of every session, each standing committee shall elect a chair and two vice-chairs, of whom the chair shall be a member of the government party, the first vice-chair shall be a member of the official opposition, and the second vice-chair shall be a member of an opposition party other than the official opposition party.
I'm ready to receive motions.
Mr. May.
