[English]
Good afternoon.
We have quorum.
Since there is something on your agenda at two o'clock today, we should probably now proceed to the election of the chair. Under Standing Order 97, we will proceed with that right away.
Monsieur Blaney.
[Translation]
Mr. Blaney has nominated Mr. Allison for the position of chair.
Are there any other motions?
[English]
(Motion agreed to)
The Clerk: I declare Mr. Allison duly elected chair of the Liaison Committee.
Some hon. members: Hear, hear!
The Clerk: We shall now proceed to the election of the vice-chair. We are now open for motions.
Mr. Szabo.
Mr. Szabo proposes Shawn Murphy as vice-chair of the Liaison Committee.
Are there any other motions?
(Motion agreed to)
Some hon. members: Hear, hear!
The Clerk: Mr. Murphy is elected vice-chair of the committee.
[Translation]
I invite Mr. Allison to take the chair.
[English]
Just before we get started, we have a new member of our committee. I want to welcome Candice Hoeppner. It's nice to have you here.
Some hon. members: Hear, hear!
The Chair: Now as we proceed down our agenda we're going to look at the subcommittee and committee budgets. What we're proposing is that we add the five names to that list. So what I'll do now is take nominations from the floor for the subcommittee on committee budgets.
Mr. Miller.
Thanks, Mr. Breitkreuz.
All right. Do we have five?
I just want to congratulate Mr. Tweed, Mr. Bezan, Mr. Miller, Mr. Szabo, and Mr. Preston for being on the subcommittee on committee budgets.
Let's move along on our agenda to number 4, working meals:
That the Clerk of the Committee be authorized to make the necessary arrangements to provide working meals to the Committee and its subcommittees.
May I have someone move that, please?
So moved by Mr. Preston.
Is there any discussion on that?
(Motion agreed to)
The Chair: Thanks.
And then to number 5, 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 in its work.
So moved by Mr. Miller.
Is there any discussion?
(Motion agreed to)
The Chair: Thank you very much.
We're going to go in camera right now. We're going to look at some budget requests.
