First, I want to thank you, Mr. Chair, for your comments on the New Zealand situation. I was in New Zealand last week. It was a very sad situation on Friday and Saturday. In fact, I joined my Muslim sisters and brothers in my constituency to mourn, to grieve and to be with our peers. I want to thank you for your thoughtfulness in writing a letter, and I thank all the committee members for supporting that unanimously.
I also want to thank my friend and colleague, Mr. Hoback, for bringing forward this important issue. This is important not only for western Canada, but as Mr. Berthold mentioned, this is an important issue for all of Canada.
Randy, thank you for bringing this forward.
I also want to thank the opposition members on the committee for how constructively we have worked over the last three and a half years. We have achieved a lot on this committee.
It has been a pleasure working with you, Randy, on all the issues.
