[English]

The Clerk of the Committee (Ms. Christine Lafrance):
    Pursuant to Standing Order 106, the committee can now proceed to the election of the chair.

[Translation]

    I am ready to receive motions for the position of Chair.

[English]

    An hon. member: Mr. Rob Merrifield.
    The Clerk: It has been moved that Mr. Merrifield be elected as chair of the committee. Are there any further motions?
    Is it the pleasure of the committee to adopt the motion?
    (Motion agreed to)
The Chair (Mr. Rob Merrifield (Yellowhead, CPC)):
    I'm actually very nervous about that motion, because unless I get a vote of confidence on a daily basis at this committee, I feel a little uneasy.
     Nonetheless, we have the routine procedures. We'd entertain a motion immediately for—
    An hon. member: I so move.
    The Chair: These are the same as were adopted at the main committee. We have a motion.
    (Motion agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])
The Chair:
    Mr. McCallum, I understand there is a motion you would like to make.
Hon. John McCallum (Markham—Unionville, Lib.):
    Yes, I think you might find unanimous consent, if that's the term, Mr. Chair, that we simply pass this bill and have a 10-minute meeting tomorrow to present it formally to the main committee.
The Chair:
    Is that your motion?
Hon. John McCallum:
    Yes.
The Chair:
    There is a motion on the floor.
    Go ahead, Monsieur Crête.

[Translation]

Mr. Paul Crête (Montmagny—L'Islet—Kamouraska—Rivière-du-Loup, BQ):
    We can say that all articles carried on division during clause-by-clause consideration of the bill.

[English]

The Chair:
    That's fine.
    (Motion agreed to on division [See Minutes of Proceedings])
    The Chair: We'll waive on the minister coming tomorrow, which we could have had. We'll have a 15-minute meeting from 1:45 to two o'clock to present it to the original committee. Then we'll hopefully table it by three o'clock.
Mr. Ted Menzies (Macleod, CPC):
    Mr. Chair, can I offer my thanks to departmental officials who were here and prepared to defend the wonderful things in this piece of legislation? Apparently we don't need them this evening. So thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen, for coming.
The Chair:
    Yes, thank you very much for being here and being prepared to present to the committee.
    With that, the meeting is adjourned.
