Thank you so much, Madam Chair. My say will be brief.
I want to add my thanks to everyone on behalf of the Liberals: the clerks, the legislative clerks, our analysts, ministry staff, ministers' office staff—who have been particularly helpful to me—and our own staff. I want to say thank you to the interpreters.
I know there has been a lot of animosity. However, the good news is that I believe all the parties ran on the Australian model and we have achieved that—on to report stage and third reading.
I guess time will tell. I will agree with Mr. Waugh: time will tell. We've seen the results from Australia and they've been overwhelmingly positive. I'm usually not an optimistic person—I think everyone around the table will agree that I'm not—but I am optimistic about what this legislation does, what it will do and the impacts it will have on Canadian journalism.
Once again, thank you to everyone. I know it can be tense at times, but it has been a collaborative process.
Thank you so much, everyone.
