[Recorded by Electronic Apparatus]

(1745)

[English]

The Clerk of the Committee (Ms. Christine Holke David):

I see quorum. We can now proceed to the election of the chair of the Subcommittee on Neurological Disease. I am ready to receive motions to that effect.

Mr. Brown.

Mr. Patrick Brown (Barrie, CPC):

I move that Joy Smith be elected chair.

The Clerk:

It is moved by Mr. Brown that Mrs. Smith be elected chair of the subcommittee on neurological disease.

Are there any further nominations?

Is it the pleasure of the committee to adopt the motion?

(Motion agreed to)

The Clerk:

I declare the motion carried and Mrs. Smith duly elected chair of the subcommittee.

Mrs. Smith, please come and take the chair.

The Chair (Mrs. Joy Smith (Kildonan—St. Paul, CPC)):

Thank you so much, I think.

I'm really happy that we have this subcommittee. We've tried to get it onboard for a long time now, so that's good. But I would like a vice-chair elected as well, just one vice-chair.

It should be a person from an opposition party.

Mr. Patrick Brown:

I nominate Kirsty Duncan.

The Chair:

Dr. Duncan.

All in favour, please so indicate.

Some hon. members: Agreed.

The Chair: Welcome, Vice-Chair.

Please give her a hand.

We will now move in camera and deal with motions.
