Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank all of my colleagues for choosing me as second vice-chair. I appreciate this show of confidence.
I am not at all upset that my friend Mr. Harris was nominated by Mr. Duvall. As you indicated, Mr. Chair, I am well aware that discussions are underway, and I hope that this issue can be resolved to the satisfaction of all political parties.
In any event, I thank you once again.
