Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Madam Clerk, I offer a very heartfelt thank you for your dedication to serving the Canadian public in such a critical role. As fellow Manitobans, we've shared many kind words.
As you reminded me today, for the very first committee that I ever chaired, you were there beside me. I remember feeling quite terrified. You were the port in the storm for me and a guiding hand of wisdom. I greatly appreciate everything that you've done for this committee and in your 35-year career. We are very lucky in Canada that we have exceptional public servants like you. You are certainly among the best. Thank you for your leadership in this country and on this committee, and for teaching us what it really means to serve the public in a professional way, to the highest standard.
Thank you very much.
