Thank you Mr. Chair.
I am new at parliamentary work. I would like to thank the minister for attending the meeting. I believe that the key questions have been asked this afternoon, and we appreciate the respect you have for the committee's work, as you have shown with regard to the issue of flight attendants, and, particularly within Bill C-11, the issue of noise, which is an issue that is of particular concern for my constituency. This is something that is included in the legislation.
Is also interesting that you were able to split up this bill compared with the previous version. It has been improved, which is why we are able to move forward more rapidly.
Discussions this afternoon have been very constructive. I also want to salute your courage with regard to railway safety. We really get the sense that you want to deal with this issue, which is one that I believe is shared by committee members.
That is all I have to say. You said that your appearance would last 30 minutes, and yet you have been here for over 50 minutes. I therefore want to thank you for having accepted the committee's invitation. I believe that your appearance will help guide our work going forward.
Of course, before moving on to the clause-by-clause consideration of Bill C-11, we will hear from witnesses. I think that the names of the witnesses that we wish to call for this consultation have already been submitted to the chair.
