Yes, I just wanted to thank the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology for the invitation to be with you today. In recognition of our visit with you, I'd like to leave you with what we call a montage that celebrates Canada's involvement in Expedition 20/21 aboard the international space station. Attached to the montage is a Canadian flag that spent time with me in space. It spent six months up there and completed 3,000 orbits of the Earth.
I just ask that you post this montage in some place where your committee members will remember that Canada is a spacefaring nation that has a reputation with our partners in the space station program. We bring pragmatic and tangible benefits to Canada.
