Procedural Clerk (Ms. Gudereit): Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the Standing Committee on Human Services. I’m Miranda Gudereit, the committee Clerk. It is my duty as committee Clerk to preside over the election of a new Chair. I’d like to remind members of the process. I will first ask for nominations. Once there are no further nominations, I will then ask a member to move a motion to have a committee member preside as the Chair.

 

I will now call for nominations for that position. I recognize Mr. Nerlien.

 

Mr. Nerlien: — I nominate Ms. Alana Ross for the position of Chair.

 

Procedural Clerk (Ms. Gudereit): Mr. Nerlien has nominated Ms. Alana Ross to the position of Chair. Are there any further nominations? Seeing none, I would now invite the member to move the motion. Mr. Nerlien.
