The Chair Conservative Joy Smith

Thank you very much, Ms. Fuller.

It's too bad that we do have time constraints. We have to be fair and equitable amongst all of us so everybody can ask their questions. As much as I think my questions are more important than anybody else's, I don't think anybody else around this table agrees with that.

You've given some very insightful answers and I would thank you very much. I would ask now that you leave the room in a very timely manner, because we have to get to some business. If anybody wants to speak with you and doesn't want to attend to the business here, then conversations can happen outside.

Mr. Fletcher.

I have a point of order.

Mr. Savage, have you changed your name? It's spelt incorrectly. Is that maritime education?

I fixed it on this side to make it more readable. “Right honourable”. Thank you for noticing.

No problem.

The Chair Conservative Joy Smith

Thank you for that very insightful observation.

Thank you to the witnesses for coming. It's been a pleasure.

As I said, if you have any conversations, could you please take them outside, Ms. Wasylycia-Leis and Ms. Kushner? Thank you very much.

We'll go right into our business.
