Yes, and it is unfortunate to see that happening in other countries. I know that, here in Canada, we must guard always to ensure that the independence is upheld. I thank you, sir, for those comments.
Mr. Wernick, I just want to say thank you for your 38 years of public service, and your duty and responsibilities that you held for both governments. Whether it was a Conservative government or a Liberal government, your service speaks for itself and I want to say thank you.
Chair, I'm finished with my remarks. Thank you.
