National Defence Committee on Sept. 27th, 2022

[Darren Fisher, Liberal, Dartmouth—Cole Harbour, NS]

I thanked you both previously, but on behalf of Atlantic Canadians, I want to thank you for the effort that the Canadian Armed Forces is putting into taking care of Atlantic Canadians.

I'd like to also, if I could, presumptuously perhaps, thank you on behalf of the entire committee. I know that Mr. Allison has family in Nova Scotia. We all have strong connections to the Atlantic provinces here on this committee.

I want to sincerely thank you on behalf of Atlantic Canada. Please pass that along to your forces. We love them. Thank you.

[The Chair, Liberal, John McKay]

Thank you, Mr. Fisher.

On behalf of the committee, I also want to thank you—particularly you, Major-General Prévost. As I indicated at the beginning, you should be up for some frequent flyer points. However, in order to be able to collect your frequent flyer points, we'll be expecting you to appear before the committee, as opposed to being virtually before the committee as you are currently. Otherwise, we're not quite sure that you are real, Major-General.

Colleagues, Thursday has collapsed for us. It's a natural consequence of asking witnesses to come, cancelling them, asking them to come again and cancelling them again. That is what we did during the spring, out of...just reality. We don't have a lineup for Thursday. My proposal is that we use the time for a subcommittee meeting to scope out what we're going to do for the fall, if that meets with the general approval of colleagues.

With that, again, thank you. No doubt, Major-General Prévost, we'll see you again.

The meeting is adjourned.
