Mr. Chair, I just have a few words.
I'd like to thank the committee once again. I thank Monsieur Ménard for his comments. We're proud to know that we are recognized by a law of the federal government so that we have an existence. We are a legal organization. We want to go further with that, to increase our links with the different departments in the federal government and also at all levels of government, municipal included, because for us that is important. We just want to reiterate the fact that in due time we hope to be absolutely included in that.
The fact that our organization would be included in the legislation gives us a legal mandate, which takes precedence over all smaller agreements, which may be very important, but incomplete or fragmented within each service.
Once again, I would like to repeat my thanks in French.
I thank you, Mr. Ménard, for the comments you have made which we appreciate and which I will share with the staff and volunteers from the Canadian Red Cross.
Thank you very much.
