EVIDENCE
Tuesday, June 17, 2025
[Recorded by Electronic Apparatus]
[Translation]
Honourable members of the committee, I see a quorum.
Pursuant to Standing Order 106(3)(a), as clerk of the committee, I'll preside over the election of the chair and the vice‑chairs.
[English]
I must inform members that the clerk of the committee can receive motions only for the election of the chair. The clerk cannot receive other types of motions and cannot entertain points of order or participate in debate.
We can now proceed to the election of the chair.
[Translation]
Pursuant to Standing Order 106(2), the chair must be a member of the government party.
I'm ready to receive motions for the chair.
Ms. Vandenbeld has the floor.
[English]
Ms. Vandenbeld proposes that Ahmed Hussen be elected as chair of the committee.
Are there any other motions?
I will put forward the motion that Mr. Ahmed Hussen be elected as chair of the committee. Is it the pleasure of the committee to adopt the motion?
(Motion agreed to)
The Clerk: Mr. Ahmed Hussen is now chair of the committee. I invite him to come forward.
Some hon. members: Hear, hear!
Thank you very much, members, for your confidence in me.
I will now turn back to the clerk to proceed with the election of the vice-chairs.
Thank you.
Pursuant to Standing Order 106(2), the second vice-chair must be a member of the opposition party other than the official opposition. I'm now prepared to receive motions.
Go ahead, Mr. Aboultaif.
Mr. Aboultaif moves that Michael Chong be elected second vice-chair of the committee.
Are there any further motions?
A voice: It's the first vice-chair—
The Clerk: It's first vice-chair. I apologize.
Is it the pleasure of the committee to adopt the motion?
(Motion agreed to)
The Clerk: Mr. Chong is now the first vice-chair of the committee.
Some hon. members: Hear, hear!
The Clerk: Thank you.
Pursuant to Standing Order 106(2), the second vice-chair must be a member of the opposition party other than the official opposition. I'm now prepared to receive motions for the second vice-chair.
Go ahead, Mr. Oliphant.
[Translation]
It's a difficult choice to make.
I'm delighted to nominate Alexis Brunelle‑Duceppe as second vice‑chair.
[English]
Mr. Oliphant moves that Mr. Alexis Brunelle-Duceppe be elected second vice-chair of the committee.
Is it the pleasure of the committee to adopt the motion?
(Motion agreed to)
The Clerk: Mr. Brunelle-Duceppe is now second vice-chair.
Some hon. members: Hear, hear!
Colleagues, we'll now proceed to the routine motions.
Does a member want to move the routine motions?
Go ahead, Mr. Oliphant.
I'm happy to move the routine motions in whole. They're not numbered, but it's from “Document Distribution” through to “Maintenance of Order and Decorum”.
Is that appropriate?
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm fine with doing that. I'd just like to make sure we're working off the same document. Which document is it?
In response, this is the document that was distributed by the clerk last Friday, after the outcome of the agreement between the leadership of the parties.
Understood.
Just to clarify, Mr. Oliphant has moved.... I'm confused about which routine motions he has moved.
Can he restate what he has moved?
I moved that the routine motions be accepted, from “Analyst Services”—I was trying to avoid the analysts, you know—through to “Maintenance of Order and Decorum”.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
On my intervention, I support this motion, and I encourage all members to support it.
[Translation]
Thank you.
I wanted to make sure that these are the motions moved by the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs, as agreed to by all parties. If so, if this is indeed the document, then yes, we're in agreement and ready to adopt it.
[English]
Yes, I'm informed that this is the case. This is the document that was distributed to all members at the outcome of the agreement between all the parties.
Mr. Aboultaif, go ahead.
We have to reference the document called “Routine Motions, 45th Parliament, 1st Session”. In addition, we could reference the date and the time that we received the email or that the email was sent. I think it would be good to have that reference.
Apparently, it was at 4:41 p.m. on June 13. My document just mentioned standing committee routine motions for the first session of the 45th Parliament. I would add that it was received on June 13 at approximately 4:40 p.m. Who knows whether someone was 30 seconds late?
Can we vote to adopt these routine motions?
(Motion agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])
The Chair: Thank you.
I open the floor to members for any other committee business. Otherwise, I will move adjournment.
I'll recognize Monsieur Brunelle-Duceppe.
[Translation]
Mr. Chair, since it's adopted, I think that the first step is to invite the analysts to sit down with us now that they're authorized to do so.
[English]
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I suggest that it's too early to plan our fall sittings as a committee. I suggest that when we first come back after the summer recess, we establish our first meeting as a planning meeting so that we can lay out a calendar for the entire fall.
I would also suggest, in light of that, that we adjourn.
