Evidence of meeting #31 for Status of Women in the 40th Parliament, 2nd Session. (The original version is on Parliament’s site, as are the minutes.) The winning word was nominations.
A recording is available from Parliament.
The Clerk of the Committee Ms. Danielle Bélisle
Members of the committee,
I see a quorum. We can proceed with the election of the chair.
I'm ready to receive motions to that effect.
The Clerk
It is moved by Mrs. Neville that Mrs. Fry be elected as chair of this committee.
Are there any other nominations?
There are no other nominations. Is it the pleasure of the committee to adopt this motion?
The Clerk
I declare the motion carried and Mrs. Fry to be the duly elected chair of the committee.
The Clerk
We have to move to the election of the vice-chairs.
Do I have any nominations for vice-chair from the government side?
Mrs. Wong.

I thought that we were doing the two nominations at the same time. All right.
The Clerk
Anyway, it wouldn't have been from the right party, so we're fine as is.
There are no other nominations for a vice-chair from the government side. Therefore, Mrs. Hoeppner is duly elected as government vice-chair.
The Clerk
Are there any other nominations for vice-chair from the opposition?
No? Okay. We thus declare Mrs. Mathyssen duly elected vice-chair of the committee.

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry
Do you wish to go in camera, because we're dealing with the order of business, what we intend to do, and our priorities?
