Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for your good humour and for conducting the proceedings of this committee in an impartial manner. You've truly succeeded in helping us to do the best possible job in the time allotted to us.
On a personal note, I'd also like to thank our research and legislative staff as well as our technical advisors. They were of great assistance to us.
Also, if somewhere along the way I managed to offend someone, either because I acted impatiently or as a result of something I may have said, I apologize. It was a pleasure for me to serve on this committee, in spite of the few occasions where tensions were running high.
In the final analysis, Mr. Chairman, you truly succeeded in making this a positive experience for us. Thank you.
