Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Only because, of course, of the tragedy of the passing of Mr. Carr and whatnot, and of the nature of the last few days of Parliament, I'd just like to, on behalf of Conservative Party members of the committee, thank Mr. Benzen for his work on this committee. He won the riding of Calgary Heritage, I believe, in 2017, if I'm remembering correctly. I'd like to thank him for his tireless work on behalf of his constituents since then. I'm not sure if I'll have the opportunity to rise in the House on this.
Thank you, Chair, for giving me just a brief moment to thank Mr. Benzen for his tireless work for the people of his constituency, the city of Calgary, the province of Alberta and this entire country. Specifically, I know we share a passion for seeing the energy industry succeed in the province of Alberta and our world-class, environment-friendly energy products be shipped around the world.
On behalf of Conservative members of this committee, and I think I speak on behalf of the entire Conservative caucus, thank you, Bob, for your work over the last number of years. You'll certainly be missed. Although I didn't have a chance to get to know you during the COVID-19 circumstances, only having been elected in 2019, I certainly appreciate the opportunities and the conversations we've been able to have. I think specifically after a meeting in Calgary we were able to have dinner together and discuss some of the challenges around the issues Alberta is facing. I know you're incredibly thoughtful and have worked very diligently. Thank you for that.
Thank you, Mr. Chair, for the indulgence.
