Following my election as Speaker, I have consulted with the leaders of the recognized parties regarding the nomination of the other chair occupants. 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.
Pursuant to Standing Order 7, I propose Mr. Stanton for the position of Deputy Speaker and Chair of Committees of the Whole.
The motion is deemed moved and seconded.
Is it the pleasure of the House to adopt the motion?
