I just want to say that when you start talking about $17 billion a year, I wonder how many Canadians realize those kinds of costs, that it actually outstrips the military, which is one of our big responsibilities here. From that perspective, I don't think you can ever keep everybody happy.
So just by hearing you defend what you've been doing, I want to thank you. I consider the job you have is somewhat thankless, because the realities of the decisions you have to make are enormous. I think we have to be careful not to be swayed by the individual stories and the individual tales, which are very heart-rending and sad. But the fact is that we have to have these decisions made, and let's put it this way, I'm glad it's you and not me.
