Natural Resources committee  It has been moved by Mr. Gravelle that Mr. Peter Julian be elected first vice-chair of the committee.

Natural Resources committee  Pursuant to Standing Order 106(2), the second vice-chair must be a member of an opposition party other than the official opposition. I'm now prepared to receive a motion for the second vice-chair.

Natural Resources committee  It has been moved by Mr. Nicholls that David McGuinty be elected second vice-chair of the committee.

Natural Resources committee  I declare the motion carried and Mr. McGuinty duly elected second vice-chair of the committee.

Natural Resources committee  I now invite Mr. Benoît to take the chair.

Natural Resources committee  We have three witnesses confirmed for Thursday. We will have representatives from the Canadian Electricity Association and Qulliq Energy Corporation. The mayor of Fort McMurray, which I think is called the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, will also be here on Thursday.
