I call the meeting to order.
Honourable members of the committee, good morning. It's nice to see everyone. I see a quorum.
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 or entertain points of order, nor can they 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 ready to receive motions.
Go ahead, Mr. Lauzon.
