Madam Chair, I will not have the pleasure of working with the member as parliamentary secretary, but I have heard extremely good things about him and his extremely important work over the last while. He wants me to thank public servants. Yes, I will do that. I think we have done that many times over the last 20 months. They have far exceeded the expectations and needs of Canadians in most respects. He also suggested thanking health care workers, and this is extremely valuable.
I would like to thank him personally for what he did, and all members of the House as well. I think we have met the expectations and needs of Canadians in these difficult times. There is more to do, as the member reminds us. The omicron variant is here, and we have to rebuild our health care system and build it for the long term.
