Thank you.
I'd like to thank all of the presenters for their thoughtful presentations. I think all are merited and worthy of inclusion in this year's budget.
I want to particularly single out the pine beetle need. You have our party's full support for the federal government delivering on that promise. I will personally take this back to caucus and advocate for that money to be delivered.
But I also want to say that in looking over the witness list across this country, I've been very dismayed over the lack of women's input in this budget process. In fact, “dismayed” isn't a strong enough word; I was horrified. So what I'd like to do is actually turn over the rest of my time to Ms. Day, Ms. Holland, Ms. Czapska, and Ms. Duncan to make sure their voices are heard as much as possible.
