Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 32(2) I have the pleasure to table, in both official languages, two copies of “An Honour to Serve”, the 2000-01 annual report of the chief of defence staff.
As members know, the chief of defence staff, General Baril, will soon retire and, as such, this is his fourth and final annual report.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank General Baril for his time as chief of defence staff and commend him on the outstanding job he has done serving his country and leading our armed forces.
I am certain all members of the House join me in thanking him and wishing him well in his retirement.
