In anticipation of the adoption of this motion, the leaders of the recognized parties consulted with me following my election. I am now prepared to propose, for the ratification of the House, a candidate for the position of Deputy Speaker and chair of committees of the whole.
Consultation on the other two positions are ongoing. The chair will make suggestions to the House in the days to come.
Pursuant to order made earlier this day, I propose Mr. Chuck Strahl for the position of Deputy Speaker and chair of committees of the whole House.
Pursuant to order made earlier today, the motion is deemed moved and seconded. Is it the pleasure of the House to adopt the motion?
