Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Welcome, Minister. Congratulations on your new role. It's good to have you here speaking about this very important situation that happened with Via Rail.
I wanted to take a moment to introduce Leila Dance, our wonderful new member of Parliament for Elmwood—Transcona in Manitoba. We're delighted to have her on board. We take trains so seriously that we're going to send twice as many people to committee. Even though that's only two, it's still a 100% increase.
