Thank you very much, Chair.
I thank you all for your presentations today.
Let me just take the opportunity to say this. I got here almost five years ago, and since that time I've been on this committee continuously. In the last two Parliaments, I've actually made it a priority when I've met with my leader; I wanted to be on this committee. I enjoy the work.
I just want to say to the Canadian people, while we have the public cameras on us, how well served I believe Canadians are by the high calibre, integrity, and professionalism that each one of you brings to your tasks. You could all make a lot more money and have a lot higher status if you wanted to go elsewhere, yet you're here serving the Canadian people. Thank you for that. You do a great job, and we appreciate it.
