The Chair Conservative Rob Anders
Thank you very much. I'm honoured to have the position.
We have some routine motions that we can either deal with at this meeting or put off to another, and I have copies of other motions that I believe other members will bring up.
We might as well deal with the fairly routine ones first, I would think. Then we have some that will be introduced by some of the members.
Does everybody have copies of this? Has it been circulated?

Mr. Thibault moves the routine motions.
Mr. Thibault, if you agree, there are a couple of changes or side amendments or what not.

Is it in what has been distributed? Then perhaps we should get most of them prior to the next meeting. Then we can get a review of them.

That's fine. Does that mean we want to wait, then, on all of these things?

The motion I'm going to make is regarding the main estimates and supplementary estimates. One of the other ones is about routine motions, and I have no problem at all with notifying all members of the committee beforehand.

I think it would be a good idea, but if you want to go motion by motion, I think we should deal with the ones that are necessary for the staff to do their work in preparing meetings and so on.
