Good morning. I call this meeting to order.
I see a quorum.
I need to inform committee members that the chair has resigned. We must now proceed to the election of a new chair.
As clerk of the committee, I can only receive motions for the election of the chair. The clerk cannot receive other types of motions and cannot entertain points of order. Also, I can't participate in the debates.
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.
I'm now ready to receive motions for the chair.
