You answered in the affirmative the last time, so I was just giving you a chance to do it again.

All right.

I want to thank you very much, Mr. Graham, for attending here today.

We have asked a number of former ministers to attend, and you are the first of what I hope are a number of them. You are the only one so far who has responded in the affirmative. We do appreciate that.

We wish you all the best. We thank you for your insight, both as a distinguished parliamentarian and defence minister. It was good to see you again.
