Great. Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. First of all, thank you for your kind remarks earlier.
Mr. Angus, thank you for your generous comments about my being chair of this committee before. One thing about this committee that always stood out to me and other members was that we were always able to get along incredibly well. There was virtually no conflict, and when there was disagreement, it was easily resolved through discussion and not confrontation. I know Mr. Melillo is in the room. I can't see him, but I'm hoping his head is nodding up and down and not left to right. I'm sure it is.
I don't see any reason we can't continue that. I almost voted with you, Mr. Angus, on your challenge to the chair, but I didn't think that would go over well. I didn't want us to get off on that sort of foot, either.
One way we managed to accomplish these goals was to compromise. I know you've introduced this motion. I haven't seen it in writing, although I gather it's being emailed around. I would like to do so based on what I heard you say. There's a lot in there that I agree we should be talking about. Probably everybody does.
It does need to be translated, in fairness to Mr. Simard and others who may want that option to read it in French.
