The Clerk of the Committee (Mr. Mark D'Amore):

I see there is a quorum in the room, so I think we should get started. First of all, I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Mark D'Amore. I've been assigned as clerk of this committee. I look forward to working with the committee.

Without further ado, I'll proceed to the election of the chair and then the election of a vice-chair, after which I will call the elected chair to the front and we can begin.

I'm opening the floor now to motions for the election of the chair.

Mr. McGuinty.

Mr. David McGuinty (Ottawa South, Lib.):

Are you accepting nominations?

The Clerk:

Yes, I'm accepting nominations for the position of chair.

Mr. David McGuinty:

I'd like to nominate Merv Tweed as chair of the committee.

The Clerk:

Are there any other motions?

Mr. Julian.

Mr. Peter Julian (Burnaby—New Westminster, NDP):

I'd like to second the motion.

The Clerk:

Are there any other motions in this regard?

Then I'll declare Mr. Tweed duly elected as chair of the committee.

Now I'll proceed to the election of vice-chairs of the committee. I'll open the floor to motions for first vice-chair, coming from the official opposition.

Mr. Jean.

Mr. Brian Jean (Fort McMurray—Athabasca, CPC):

I would like to move that Don Bell be first vice-chair.

The Clerk:

So we have a motion for Mr. Bell for vice-chair. Are there any other motions to this effect?

[Translation]

(Motion agreed to)

The Clerk: I declare Mr. Bell duly elected vice-chair of the committee.

Our next item of business is the election of the second vice-chair.

Mr. Carrier.

Mr. Robert Carrier (Alfred-Pellan, BQ):

I'd like to nominate Mr. Mario Laframboise.

The Clerk:

Are there any other motions?

(Motion agreed to)

The Clerk: I declare Mr. Laframboise duly elected vice-chair of the committee.

I now invite Mr. Tweed to take the chair.

[English]

The Chair (Mr. Merv Tweed (Brandon—Souris, CPC)):

We're going to take a break to reset the electronics and then introduce the next agenda so that this will be set up as two meetings. We'll just be a few minutes.

We're adjourned.
