I have the honour to report that, the House having attended on His Excellency the Governor General in the Senate chamber, I informed His Excellency that the choice of Speaker has fallen on me and, in your names and on your behalf, I made the usual claim for your privileges, which His Excellency was pleased to confirm to you.

I have the honour to inform the House that when this House did attend His Excellency this day in the Senate chamber, His Excellency was pleased to make a speech to Parliament. To prevent mistakes, I have obtained a copy, which may be viewed here.

Order!

Honourable members, Pursuant to Standing Order 2.1, I invite /u/raymondl810, the Member for Central Ontario, to take the chair, as the member presiding over the election of the Speaker.

Pursuant to Standing Order 2.3, The House must proceed to the speeches of candidates for Speaker.

The Dean of the House, /u/raymondl810**(He/Him, Mr. Chair) is in the chair. All remarks must be addressed to the chair.**

The time for speeches of candidates for Speaker shall end at 6:00 p.m. EDT (UTC -4) on January 2, 2025.

Pursuant to Part 4 of my mandate here, I designated the following 4 individuals to the Ban and Appeals Commission under section 66 of the Constitution; and are all subject to a Meta Vote under the section 6 of the Constitution. Section 8 provides the requirements for a meta vote to be in compliance with the Constitution.

Section 16 provides the circumstances for a Q&A in relation to any nominee. But is silent as to designees. There is a clear distinction between a nominee and designee; chiefly, that a nominee is a person who is nominated, that is put forward or recommended; and a designee refers a person who is designated, formally chosen to undertake what is mandated.

Although this means that my designees to the Ban and Appeals Commission can be subject to a vote of confidence immediately, I have chosen to provide the community with the benefit of a 72 hour Q&A Session, given the recent controversies. This is to preserve the integrity of the incoming BAC where they are confirmed by the Community. On the basis, I implore all members of r/CMHOC to put questions to the designees and to hash out concerns, particularly in relation to any impropriety and bias.

A direct copy and paste from my Mandate will be given below so that you may put questions to the nominees in relation to my rationale in selecting them for the position.

Section 66 of the Constitution provides that the Head Moderator can designate the members of the BAC, whom are subject to a confirmation vote with the threshold of at least 65%. Under this power, I designate—

1. u/Ibney00 (AKA "Joseph Ibney") to the Ban and Appeals Commission. Ibney has a rich experience in law; and leadership experience in r/ModelUSGov, having led the Republican Party and Civics Peoples Party there. There, he was appointed to SCOTUS for his impartial views, and has been involved in legal roleplay, with myself, for over 9 years. Despite being friends, we do not necessarily agree on the same interpretation over specific subject matters and heads of powers; so we do have our disputes. Nevertheless, Ibney has a reputation of being impartial and fair in his judgment, preserving the integrity of the text in light of its objective purpose; and opposes authoritarian conduct. I trust that he will be fair in his judgment and the interpretation and application of the Constitution and Code of Conduct, giving direction and guidance to the BAC and the community as a whole.
2. u/Zurikurta (AKA "Cyprus Zairn") to the Ban and Appeal Commission. Zairn has vast experience in law and politics; with leadership experience in r/ModelUSGov in the Democratic Party and Civics Peoples Party over there. Zairn has been a valuable source of guidance, to myself, in the understanding of United States law and politics. They have a reputation of standing up against authority where conduct is unjustified, and in adherence to precedent and the written text. I trust that Zairn will give fair and impartial judgments towards the interpretation and application of the r/CMHOC Constitution and Code of Conduct, and in challenging the status quo where a manifest injustice prevails due to a strict interpretation of the governing documents.
3. u/SmugDemonness to the Ban and Appeals Commission. Smug is an academic who has great experience in social politics, history and the law. From our discussions and interactions, we have engaged in high level discourse as to how social politics and history play a large role in the facilitation of power, with the law serving as an expression of that power. She is fair and impartial person who seeks out unjust outcomes and adopts a hardline stance against fascism and Nazism. She has leadership experience in r/AustraliaSim as the leader of the Socialist Party there and is a person I trust and confide in. I trust Smug in giving a fair and impartial hearing to any before the BAC, and to tease out the particular intricacies in particular cases to arrive at a just conclusion.
4. u/Scribba25 to the Ban and Appeals Commission. Scribba has leadership experience in r/ModelUSGov and r/MHOC as the leader of the Democratic Party and Liberal Democrats, respectively. Scribba is a person whom I trust and confide personal matters with, and has given me great guidance to whom I would equate as a brother. He was my opponent in the Head Moderator elections for r/CMHOC, and I would strongly encourage the community to defer to him should they choose to remove me from my position. Although we have had our disagreements over how certain things must be done, I have made my confidence in Scribba very public. Scribba is the type of person who will ask questions and provide an equal opportunity to all grievances to be heard before making a conclusion.

I consider all of them my friends, if people seek to make an issue of that. Furthermore, I also see them all as the most competent persons for this, which maintains my view that competency, coupled with lack of controversy, is the right way to go for appointments that are analogous to a judicial body which seeks to serve as a counterbalance to overreach by the Executive. Moreover, I have further weighted my considerations on these designees for their diverse backgrounds in political views, gender and sexual orientation to give a rich and diverse perspective on matters which come before the BAC.

This Q&A Session will terminate at 6:30AM on Friday, December 13, 2024 (GMT-5). And the designees will be subject to a meta vote, particularly a vote of confidence, at 7:00AM on Friday, December 13, 2024 (GMT-5) which will last a period of 72 hours as per section 8(a). Under section 66, they must past a threshold of at least 65% in order to secure their appointment.

I invite the designees to provide opening statements; and I ask that all members asking direct questions ping the respective designees.

A proclamation has been issued Dissolving Parliament (SI/2024-1), as such, all bills die on the order paper, and all Members of the House of Commons are discharged from their meeting and attendance.

Meta: this means that parliament is to cease functioning, with all debates closed.

Their Excellency the Governor-General in Council, on the recommendation of the Prime Minister Designate, pursuant to the powers vested in the office of Governor-General, assigns:

His Excellency u/nmtts-, Governor General of Canada, today received u/WonderOverYander, whom he invited to form a new government, which he accepted to do. Mr. u/WonderOverYander may now be referred to as Prime Minister-designate.
