Mr. Chair, thanks for the opportunity to join the committee today.
Let me congratulate you and the committee on a number of years of excellent work on behalf of Canadians.
I want to start by saying that I think it's regrettable that Mr. Barrett doesn't see fit for a person to change their socks on a regular basis. I would encourage him to maybe rethink that statement. I think it's important that we change our socks on an ongoing basis.
