The Chair: So Mr. Jim Abbott has been nominated for vice-chair. Any other nominations? I call for a vote.
(Motion agreed to)
The Chair: Congratulations, Mr. Abbott.
Following the usual procedure of the committee when we discuss committee business, I'd like to have a motion that we move in camera for the business meeting. All in favour?
[Translation]
The plan was to meet in camera to consider routine business. Is everyone okay with that?
[English]
(Motion agreed to)
The Chair: So if you'll just give us a few minutes, we have to switch.
Is it in order to keep people from political staffs here, which we've usually done? I don't think anybody has any objection.
[Proceedings continue in camera]
