Citizenship and Immigration committee  What day would that be? Thursday, November 30. Why would it not be sitting?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I have a little bit of background here I can hand out to the members of the committee.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I don't know when the foreign affairs committee is going to agree to the time we'll meet.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  No. The foreign affairs committee is meeting this morning, and they're bringing it up at their meeting to see what time it will be. It's kind of recommended that it might be 11:30 to one o'clock, half an hour after our meeting that day. It will be informal, but we'll still have

Citizenship and Immigration committee  It happens all the time. You never know. You can't anticipate what's going to come up in the House that day. Sometimes they will say okay, as long as you're paired off, three opposition, three government members, so that it doesn't affect any vote in the House.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  The process is we have to get the funding from the budget Liaison Committee, and they're meeting this Thursday. Then it goes up, if we get the funding, to the House leaders, who meet next Tuesday, and then they decide if we get the order of reference to travel or not.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Now we'll proceed to the second vice-chair. I'll open the nominations. Madame Deschamps.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Any further nominations? I declare the nominations closed. I declare Madame Faille duly elected, in absentia, as second vice-chair. I'll invite Mr. Doyle to take the chair.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  No.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Members, I see a quorum. Your first item of business is election of the chair. I will now open up the floor to nominations. Mr. Devolin.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Are there any further nominations? I declare the nominations closed. (Motion agreed to)

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I declare Mr. Doyle duly elected chair of the committee.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Now we'll move on to the vice-chairs. The first vice-chair has to come from the official opposition. I'll open the floor to nominations.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Mr. Telegdi nominates himself. Any further nominations? Madame Deschamps.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Madame Deschamps proposes Raymonde Folco for the vice-chair also. Are there any further nominations? Pursuant to Standing Order 106, since more than one candidate has been nominated for vice-chair I'm authorized to preside over the election of vice-chair by secret ballot. Befo
