That's a good sentiment to end on.
I want to thank you, Mr. Clark. That was definitively yeoman's work to get through that whole hour by yourself.
I represent the riding of Cambridge, the home of the great painter, David Soffa, and the portraits of honour. I'm sure you've had an opportunity to meet him and see his work. He of course is struggling right now, as he's fighting stage 4 cancer, but if there's any way to include him in your conversations about Remembrance Day events this coming Remembrance Day, I'd be happy to have that conversation.
I thank my colleagues for their indulgence there.
Thank you very much, Mr. Clark, for being with us.
For the committee, I have two quick items before we are dismissed.
We have a proposed budget in the amount of $2,500 for our next study on service dogs for veterans. Are we good to adopt that budget? Are there any objections?
There are no objections.
Also, speaking of that, we need to set up a deadline for witnesses. What I'm suggesting is that it be no later than Thursday, May 6, at 4 p.m., which is this Thursday. Is that enough time for folks to get their witnesses in? We can move that a bit, but we have to move to get those witnesses ready to go. Are there any objections to the May 6 proposal?
