That brings our evening to a close.
I want to thank Minister Blair and all of his officials for spending these last two hours with us.
I particularly appreciate the change in the threat posture with respect to the Government of China. I have long taken a public position that we have to treat China differently, so it was encouraging to hear the minister's comment.
Colleagues, you also know that we don't have Jean-Marie David as our clerk tonight. Jean-Marie has been reassigned away from this committee, and we now have a new clerk, Mike MacPherson.
Welcome, Mike, to the committee and thank you for keeping us on track.
Finally, colleagues, I just want to say that we keep getting all of these assignments and work piling up. Unless I hear otherwise, I'm going to see if I can squeeze out two hours next week for a virtual meeting even though the House is not sitting, just to try to work into the backlog.
With that thank you, colleagues, and Minister, and your officials. Good evening.
