Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Marleau, for coming here. I haven't known you that long either, but I can certainly tell you that after my university education, if I have seriously and sincerely read something, it is the book by you.
I would like to echo the comments made by my colleagues that this is one of the best steps this government has taken, to appoint such an intelligent and ingenious fellow with your capabilities who has had outstanding service to the House here as well.
Congratulations, and welcome.
