Thank you very much.
The last time we were all supposed to get together in this very hotel, the meeting had to be cancelled. For those of us who live here it was a mild annoyance, but for you and the whole team around you, it meant another day away from your families, another day living out of a suitcase, another day re-booking meetings, scheduling meetings, and spending a lot of time on the phone. We want to thank you for the public service you and your support staff are doing on a very important issue, which is of great concern to Canadians and which really requires the multipartisan nature of a dialogue that is not about who's right but about what's right.
