Thank you for that inspiring speech, Pam. I appreciate it. I think it was the robocalls that did it.
Before we get into routine motions, I just want to say that the work of the committee in the last Parliament was really quite excellent. There was a lot of consensus and important work was done. I'm hoping that we can continue that.
In a minority government there's always a temptation to chase every political rabbit down every political rabbit hole and at the end of the day, you wonder what you actually did here. This is an important committee. It's important work that we can do, and I'm rather hoping that we can work collaboratively to achieve all of those ends.
If I may introduce the best clerk on the Hill, Jean-Marie is a tremendously able individual and we were very blessed last time with great analysts as well.
Apparently, we have to elect vice-chairs.
