I'm glad we have the opportunity to share our thoughts. It has been quite emotional to be leaving this building, even though I've only been here three years; I can't imagine what it's like for those who have been here for years and decades before me. This building has a lot of history. It will be nice to see it restored and see it get the love and care it probably needs. I think that's the positive part of it. I just wish it weren't closed for so long.
I look forward to the new year and working with all of you in the new building, in West Block.
This committee was also something unexpected for me. When I was first appointed to it three years ago, I thought, “Wow. What did I do to deserve this?” Now I say, “Wow! What did I really do to deserve this?”
