My comments are not related to the topic under consideration, Mr. Chair. Often, when 1 p.m. rolls around, we rush to conclude the meeting. However, with your permission, I'd like to take the opportunity to mention that today marks the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day. I would like to congratulate all the women who work at the House of Commons, including our analysts, House staff and the women working in various ministers' or members' offices. This occasion is noteworthy. I would also like to congratulate the women who are appearing as witnesses for their efforts to make our society a better place in which to live. Thank you very much.
