Agriculture committee  As per the order that was adopted in the House, the future committee meetings will be hybrid meetings. It will be your discretion as to whether you wish to appear in person in Ottawa in the committee room or whether you wish to appear virtually.

Agriculture committee  Mr. Chair, I'm terribly sorry to interrupt. The meetings are available based on the scheduling agreed to by the whips. I believe next week is very full with a lot of other committee meetings. They are only allowed so many meetings per slot. I think that meetings are called, at least at the start, based on the agreement by the whips.

Agriculture committee  Do you want me to take that, sir?

Agriculture committee  Can I just clarify something? Are you moving the other motion for the BRM?

Agriculture committee  Mr. Chair, the amendment is adopted. If it is the desire to pass all the routine motions as one, indeed the motion as amended.

Agriculture committee  Yes, sir, that is correct.

Agriculture committee  If the desire is to pass all of the amendments, then you could pass them all in one shot. Otherwise, each amendment would need to be made separately, and voted on separately. I'll leave it to your discretion.

Agriculture committee  Are there any further motions for the position of second vice-chair? It has been moved by Ms. Bessette that Mr. Perron be elected as second vice-chair of the committee. Is there agreement? Seeing agreement, I declare the motion carried, and Mr. Perron duly elected second vice-chair of the committee.

Agriculture committee  It has been moved by Mr. Drouin that Mr. Finnigan be elected as chair of the committee. Are there any further motions?

Agriculture committee  Are there any further motions for the first vice-chair? It has been moved by Mr. Steinley that Ms. Rood be elected as the first vice-chair of the committee. Pursuant to the House order of Wednesday, September 23, 2020—

Agriculture committee  Currently, we're doing the first vice-chair. The second vice-chair will be in a moment.

Agriculture committee  Okay. So we can proceed. For the position of first vice-chair, are there any further motions? Is there agreement? Seeing agreement, I declare the motion carried, and Ms. Rood is duly elected first vice-chair of the committee. Moving on to the position of the second vice-chair, pursuant to Standing Order 106(2), the second vice-chair must be a member of an opposition party other than the official opposition.
