Thank you, Mr. Levitt.
To Dr. Dawson and Professor Sands, thank you very much, and especially to Mr. Sands for hanging in there. We very much enjoyed your presentation and your answers to questions this morning, once we got you into it.
This is a very important discussion for Canada. Obviously, Canada-U.S. relations is a very complex area. But again, we have a long history.
I have to admit, I couldn't agree with you more: Canadians tend to be very nice, to the point where sometimes we leave a meeting wondering what exactly we were there for; we were so nice while we were there. It doesn't hurt to be a little more strident. I agree with you that Canada has to send the proper messaging as we go.
You'll see a lot of us down in Washington. Our committee is going to be down there as well, but we're waiting a little longer, until the gap that you were speaking of—all these people who have not been appointed and are causing some of the problems for the Trump administration—starts to deal with itself. I think the fall would be a good time for us to be there.
Again, on behalf of the committee, thank you very much.
Colleagues, we're going to take a two-minute break, and then we'll go to our next witnesses.
