Hello and welcome everyone.
On behalf of our chair, Mrs. Sgro, who is ill today unfortunately, welcome back to Ottawa. On all our behalf, if I may, I wish her a speedy recovery so she can return fit and filled with her usual determination.
I hope you had an enjoyable summer. It looks like we have an interesting session ahead of us.
I would also like to welcome a new member, Mr. Aubin, who is replacing Mrs. Duncan. I must accordingly give the floor to our clerk so we can elect a new vice-chair.
