Human Resources committee  A seconder is not required in committees.

Human Resources committee  I am still waiting for a copy of the amendment. I need confirmation from Mr. Long. Right now what I have reads: That the officials appear in front the committee for one hour on January 31, 2022, on the subject of the processing times If Mr. Long could repeat the end of that, it would be great or if he can send a copy to me, that would be wonderful.

Human Resources committee  In the package that was circulated to all members, there was a routine motion that was adopted in the previous Parliament that was related to in camera sittings. There could be modifications if the committee chooses, but in terms of that section, it says: That all votes taken in camera, with the exception of votes regarding the consideration of draft reports, be recorded in the Minutes of Proceedings, including how each member voted when recorded votes are requested; That any motion to sit in camera is debatable and amendable.

Human Resources committee  Pursuant to Standing Order 106(2), the first vice-chair must be a member of the official opposition. I'm now prepared to receive motions for the first vice-chair. Mr. Jeneroux.

Human Resources committee  It has been moved by Mr. Jeneroux that Stephanie Kusie be elected first vice-chair. Are there any further motions? (Motion agreed to) Mrs. Kusie is elected first vice-chair of the committee.

Human 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 motions for the second vice‑chair.

Human Resources committee  It has been moved by Soraya Martinez Ferrada that Ms. Chabot be elected as second vice‑chair of the committee. Are there any further motions? (Motion agreed to)

Human Resources committee  I declare the motion carried and Ms. Chabot duly elected second vice‑chair of the committee.

Human Resources committee  Honourable members of the committee, I see a quorum. I must inform members that the clerk of the committee can only receive motions for the election of the chair. The clerk cannot receive other types of motion, entertain points of order or participate in debate. We can now proceed to the election of the chair.

Human Resources committee  It has been moved by Mr. Long that Mr. Morrissey be elected as chair of the committee. Are there any further motions? (Motion agreed to) Mr. Morrissey has been duly elected the chair of the committee. Congratulations.

Human Resources committee  I invite Mr. Morrissey to take the chair.
