[Recorded by Electronic Apparatus]
(1315)
[English]
I see a quorum. We can now proceed to the election of the chair. I'm ready to receive motions to that effect.
Mr. Lee moves that Mr. Allison be named chair of the committee.
(Motion agreed to)
The Clerk: I declare Mr. Allison the duly elected chair of the committee.
[Translation]
The second item on the agenda is to elect a vice-chair of the Liaison Committee.
Are there any motions to that effect?
[English]
[Translation]
Mr. Lee moves that Ms. Ratansi be elected vice-chair of the committee.
Are there other motions to that effect?
Is it the pleasure of the committee to adopt the motion?
(Motion agreed to)
[English]
I invite Mr. Allison to take the chair.
I'll ask everyone to pull out their agendas. We're now at number three on the subcommittee on committee budgets. If you'll notice there, we need to come up with a list of seven names altogether that will sit on the budgetary subcommittee.
The way it's been explained to me--we've done this in the past--it's been four Conservatives and three Liberals.
What we have now is myself as the chair and Ms. Ratansi as the vice-chair. So we'll need to elect an additional five members, of which three will be Conservative and two will be Liberal. So let's move ahead with nominations.
Mr. Merrifield, go ahead.
Mr. Tweed is nominated.
Okay, I will give you the list, if we could move the list.
So Mr. Lee, that includes myself, Ms. Ratansi, Mr. Hanger, Mr. Merrifield, Mr. Szabo, Madame Marleau, and Mr. Tweed.
Mr. Lee, you'll move that?
We'll move along then to our routine motions. Hopefully the routine motions will be a little easier to go through on this committee than they have been on other committees. We'll give it a shot and see how we make out.
Number four is working meals: that the clerk of the committee be authorized to make the necessary arrangements to provide working meals for the committee and the subcommittees.
Do I have a mover?
We will now look at number five, which pertains to the services of the analysts from the Library of Parliament: that the committee retain, as needed and at the discretion of the chair, the services of one or more analysts from the Library of Parliament to assist it in its work.
