Thank you. Congratulations to everyone.

Merci à tous.
I think it was the campaign that really put us all over the edge.
I would like to use this time to accomplish a few things. I seek permission from the committee to go in camera, if that's in order.
Some hon. members: Agreed.
The Chair: Absolument? Okay.
We will suspend for 30 seconds so we can actually do that.
