I just want to clarify something with respect to the subcommittee. Clearly, you are on it, Mr. Chair, and the vice-chairs, Mr.Godin and Mr. Beaulieu, but Ms. Ashton and I are also on it.

I wanted to make that clear to Mr. Godin.

Yes, Mr. Chair. I would like to say two things.

First, congratulations on your election as chair.

Second, I would like to use my last comments in this first meeting to wish you all, dear members of the committee, a very happy holiday season. Have a good time with your families, because we have a lot of work to do in the coming year, and we don't know what the world will look like in 2022.

The Chair Liberal René Arseneault

Thank you very much.

On that note, happy holidays, everyone. As Mr. Godin said, take some time for yourselves and with your families.
