Hello, everyone.
Honourable members of the committee, I see we now have quorum. My name is Hilary Powell. I'm the clerk of the committee.
I must inform members that the clerk of the committee can only receive motions for the election of the chair. The clerk cannot receive other types of motions, entertain points of order or participate in debate.
We can now proceed to the election of the chair.
Pursuant to Standing Order 106(2), the chair must be a member of the government party.
I am now ready to receive motions for the chair.
Mr. Maloney, I see you have your hand up.
I apologize for the technical delay. I see Ms. Rempel Garner has her hand up.
