Thank you.
I would also like to take a minute to explain why I could not support the election of the current chair. It is not personal at all—and I hope you don't take it that way—but I think some of my colleagues and I were really devastated by what happened to Karen Vecchio.
I don't know why she was thrown off this committee, but it feels like she was thrown under the bus. It feels like it's direction from the Conservative leader to keep committees from working collaboratively because that is exactly what we have been doing at this committee.
