Let me first take a moment, Mr. Clerk, to thank my colleagues.
Thanks for your support. It's wonderful to be here. I know that this is a very important committee on the Hill. Some have sat on this committee in the past—some “veterans”, I'll call them. I know that Julie and Pierre sometimes in the past, and of course Gabriel, have been on the committee. We have the critics from all three parties. I don't know if I'm missing anybody.
It is really an honour to be able to preside over this committee. Thank you very much, everybody, for your support. I look forward to the work we will be doing here on behalf of Canada and Canadians.
Go ahead, Ms. Dzerowicz.
