Thank you very much.
As I said in the House a couple of weeks ago, thank you for the kind words and the prayers and the messages during my medical misadventure.
I did follow very closely the proceedings of the committee during those few months I was absent. I read with great interest the report on the care of ill and injured Forces members as it was concluded. I also enjoyed the quite substantial body of evidence and testimony during the study of the defence of North America. It was a fairly productive series of meetings, given the longer than some expected session of the House. I think that I'm up-to-date.
Thanks very much, Rick, for leaping into the breach and so capably fulfilling the duties of chair. I really look forward to working again with all of you in the months ahead on both the motions before us that we've accepted today and moving ahead.
Mr. Bezan.
