Good afternoon, colleagues. The first item of business is consideration of four Parliamentary Bureau motions: S7M-00268, on a standing orders temporary rule change; S7M-00269, on the establishment of committees; S7M-00270, on names and remits of mandatory committees; and S7M-00273, on the election of committee conveners. I ask any member who wishes to speak to the motions to press their request-to-speak button.
