Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I realize this is not a humorous business we're involved in here this morning, but to try to inject a little bit of humour, I must say it's nice to be back in familiar surroundings.
However, more to the point, I respect the responsibility this committee has been empowered with and the mandate it has been given to look into the matter under discussion. I'm pleased and honoured to have been requested to attend here to explain the role my campaign had during this whole process. I feel I have now had the opportunity to explain exactly what transpired in relation to the Labrador riding and myself. I appreciate the opportunity to do that.
Thank you.
