[Translation]
Honourable members, I see a quorum.
I must inform members that the clerk of the committee can only receive motions for the election of the chair. The clerk cannot receive other types of motions, cannot entertain points of order nor participate in debate.
That said, we may 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 ready to receive motions for the chair.
Mr. Godin nominates Mr. Chong as chair.
Are there any other motions?
[English]
Seeing none, is it the pleasure of the committee to adopt the motion?
(Motion agreed to)
The Clerk: I declare the motion carried and Mr. Chong duly elected chair of the committee.
Before I invite Mr. Chong to take the chair, with the indulgence of the committee, we can proceed to the election of the vice-chairs. Unfortunately, as members know, I can't recognize anybody in debate.
