Honourable members of the committee, I see a quorum.

We can now proceed to the election of the chair. Pursuant to Standing Order 106(2), the chair must be a member of the government party.

I am now ready to receive motions for the chair.
Mr. Nantel, you have the floor.
It has been moved by Mr. Nantel that Mr. Moore be elected as chair of the committee.
Are there any further motions?

Some hon. members: Hear, hear!

I now invite Mr. Moore to take the chair.
Welcome back, everybody. Thank you for electing me chair again. I promise we'll have refreshments and lunch, as usual. We'll get back on schedule there. That was my campaign commitment.
I know there had been some discussion about.... We would require unanimous consent, of course, to go to our protocol study, but there's no consent right now, is that it?
