The Clerk of the Committee Mr. Mark D'Amore

Good morning. I believe we have a quorum

Since there's been a change in membership, the committee no longer has a vice-chair representing the Official opposition.

Therefore, our first order of business is to elect a vice-chair representing the Official opposition, in accordance with the Standing Orders. I am ready to receive motions to that effect.

Raymond Simard Liberal Saint Boniface, MB

Mr. Chairman, I move that that former Chair of the committee, Mr. Pablo Rodriguez, be elected vice-chair.

The Clerk

Are there any other nominations?

If not, I declare Mr. Pablo Rodriguez duly elected first vice-chair of the committee.

I invite the Chairman, Mr. Guy Lauzon, to take the chair.

The Chair Conservative Guy Lauzon

We'll suspend our proceedings for 30 seconds and continue in camera.

The meeting continued in camera.
