Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I have the privilege of actually having the last five minutes, so I will take them to say thank you, Minister, for being here. However, I would also like to recognize and thank the men and women who served during the Afghanistan war.
I also want to recognize all the hard work that was presented to everyone who was involved during the extraction, and I certainly want to say thank you for the work you do every single day to protect our great nation. I want to make sure of that.
I know, Minister, I'm speaking a bit on the right side from my view here, but thank you for everything you are all doing.
We went through many questions. Maybe, Minister, you could share with us the next phase, where we're at and maybe explain to this committee, as we move forward, more about the importance of those recommendations and why we're having this conversation today, but also what's next. What I hear is a great desire to continue to contribute.
