I can't speak for the Department of Foreign Affairs, but the Department of National Defence has no problem with that. We'd be happy to have meetings every Wednesday, starting next week. All you have to do is support the budget.

From what I am seeing, everyone seems to be in favour of the motion.
(Motion agreed to)
Before members leave the room, I would like to inform them that, as chair, I will tomorrow be tabling in the House of Commons the report of the committee regarding supplementary estimates (C), as well as the report on Bill C-41, that the committee adopted today.
Furthermore, I wish to thank you for the privilege I have had of participating with you in all of these meetings. It has been a very pleasant experience to chair this committee. I have learned much as chair. I was well assisted by the clerk and the analysts as well as by you, the members of the committee.

Ah, thank you! I was also well assisted by the two vice-chairs. As a matter of fact, Mr. Wilfert had the privilege of chairing a committee meeting in my absence.
I would also like to remind committee members that we have been a very productive committee. We had a very full program and we fulfilled it, and we did so while respecting each other's ideologies. It has been very pleasant. There was a wonderful camaraderie within our committee. We also played the partisanship game, but with moderation, when it was necessary. Thank you very much.
Lastly, I would like to take advantage of this opportunity to thank Jean-François, Melissa, Wolfgang, the interpreters who have been with us, Cindy and her colleagues, as well as the entire committee staff.
We will most certainly be seeing each other in a future parliament. Good luck to all!
This concludes our business.
The meeting is adjourned.
