Thank you, Mr. Clerk.
Thanks, everyone, for your support.
I'd like to start by thanking the Honourable Jim Carr for his work to date bringing us along. We've done some great work together, and I appreciate his efforts and shall take guidance from them. I wish him well as he goes forward and deals with the health issues that he must face.
I would also like to note that Mr. Van Bynen will be joining us on an ongoing basis.
Welcome, Tony.
The original plan from last week was that today we would have the chief of the defence staff, but because of circumstances around the need to elect a new chair, that has fallen by the wayside. I understand that the chief of the defence staff will be available next Thursday, so I suggest that we proceed on that basis.
I also understand that the minister and officials will be available on this coming Tuesday to talk about Bill C-21, so we will continue on that basis.
I understand that there is a draft work plan in process that the clerk and analysts are working on. I hope to meet with the clerk and analysts early in the coming week, and we will distribute a work plan in due course.
Is there any comment?
Ms. Dancho, please go ahead.
