Evidence of meeting #13 for Transport, Infrastructure and Communities in the 39th Parliament, 1st Session. (The original version is on Parliament’s site, as are the minutes.) The winning word was chair.
A recording is available from Parliament.
The Clerk of the Committee Mr. Mark D'Amore
I see there is a quorum in the room, so I think we should get started. First of all, I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Mark D'Amore. I've been assigned as clerk of this committee. I look forward to working with the committee.
Without further ado, I'll proceed to the election of the chair and then the election of a vice-chair, after which I will call the elected chair to the front and we can begin.
I'm opening the floor now to motions for the election of the chair.
Mr. McGuinty.
Liberal
The Clerk
Are there any other motions in this regard?
Then I'll declare Mr. Tweed duly elected as chair of the committee.
Now I'll proceed to the election of vice-chairs of the committee. I'll open the floor to motions for first vice-chair, coming from the official opposition.
Mr. Jean.

The Chair Conservative Merv Tweed
We're going to take a break to reset the electronics and then introduce the next agenda so that this will be set up as two meetings. We'll just be a few minutes.
We're adjourned.
