Conservative

Mike Lake Conservative Edmonton—Mill Woods—Beaumont, AB

Of course we would be remiss if we didn't take the opportunity to thank you, as the chair. You did a fantastic job on this committee. It went very well, and we appreciate the work you did.

And to our opposition colleagues, I say the same. Thank you. It was a pleasure to work on this committee with all of you. We don't agree on everything, or even anything, on this bill, but the committee handled itself very well, and that's not always the case.

NDP

Charlie Angus NDP Timmins—James Bay, ON

I'd like to thank all of my honourable colleagues. We did agree on one thing throughout this debate: Mr. Lake and I both love the Edmonton Oilers, so that is a huge win for parliamentary democracy.

11 a.m.

Conservative

Mike Lake Conservative Edmonton—Mill Woods—Beaumont, AB

Can we get unanimous consent for that?

11 a.m.

NDP

Charlie Angus NDP Timmins—James Bay, ON

Not from my Quebec colleagues, no.

You've done excellent work, Mr. Chair, and we want to thank you.

We'd also like to thank Mr. Brown, who was our previous chair on Bill C-32. We did a lot of prep work for this through the previous committee. That committee did excellent work as well.

11 a.m.

The Chair NDP Glenn Thibeault

Great. Thank you, Mr. Angus.

This meeting and this committee are now adjourned.
