Thank you so much, Mr. Chair.
First of all, I want to start my comments by saying I appreciate and want to thank the member, Mr. Duguid, who said a few minutes ago that what happened was not correct. I deeply appreciate that.
As the former prime minister of Canada the right honourable Jean Chrétien used to say, when you paint yourself into a corner, your only way out is to walk on the paint. It might not be pleasant, but there's no way around it.
I want to pay all my respects to Mr. Duguid.
If you see the right honourable Mr. Chrétien this weekend, say hello to him.
