The Chair Conservative Lee Richardson
Thank you very much.
I'd like to thank all the committee members for their cooperation.
I also thank our witnesses for taking the time. I know how busy you are, and I really appreciate your coming in. Maybe you consider this a break from your day. I know it's been a gruelling grind over there with all the business we're throwing at you in terms of all these trade agreements that are under way.
Thank you very much for coming, and I'm happy to let you go now.

It would be my intention, with the consent of committee, to report the bill to the House tomorrow, if we are all in agreement. I think we are.

This has been a somewhat raucous consideration. There have been points of order. There has been a challenge to the chair. But you've carried yourself well, Mr. Chair, and I did want to say that.

Oh, not yet.
I was about to wish you well on future endeavours, but apparently this is just an ill-founded rumour that's circulating with regard to your future, Mr. Julian.

Conservatives are fundraising, though, to send me home. I'm going to milk that for all it's worth.

Thank you, Chair.
Last Wednesday, I believe, the NDP and certainly the Conservatives had their Christmas receptions. At ours we had a fabulous time, with our Prime Minister providing a bit of a rock concert.
I'm not sure if the Bloc has had their party. Joyeux Noël if they haven't.
Also, if I might say, I understand that at the Liberals' Christmas party this Wednesday, there will be a book reading by Mr. Ignatieff, and everyone will get a signed copy. I would like to ask for a copy, if that does happen, if I could, please--and wish you all a very Merry Christmas, please, and Joyeux Noël.

As tempted as I was to wear my new Strasbourg thing at the party, you've lost your chance.
