I declare the motion carried and Mr. Maloney duly elected chair of the committee.
Congratulations, Mr. Maloney.
Before you take your chair, Mr. Chair, and make your welcoming speech, if the committee is willing, I will proceed with the election of both vice-chairs, the first and second vice-chairs. Is that all right with everyone? Yes.
The first vice-chair, as you know, pursuant to the Standing Orders, must belong to the official opposition. I'm now ready to receive motions to that effect.
Do we have any nominations for the position of first vice-chair?
