Mr. Speaker, I would like to begin by thanking the member for Sudbury for her hard work on our very hard-working defence committee.
As we head into the holiday season, I would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to all members of the Canadian Armed Forces and to the entire defence team. They have answered the call to serve and defend their country, and they have our confidence, our pride and our gratitude. I also wish to extend our thanks to their families and all those who support them in this essential work.
I wish all members of the Canadian Armed Forces happy holidays and a happy new year.
