Thank you, Mr. McLeod. Mr. Abernethy.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd like to recognize a couple of individuals from Her Majesty's Canadian ship, the Yellowknife. When I toured this ship last August, I was reminded several times it's a ship, not a boat. I had a note from one of the Members who has indicated that I've called it a boat already. I apologize for that. With us today are Lieutenant-Commander Cory Gleason, the new commanding officer of the HMCS Yellowknife; Petty Officer First Class Calvin Langager, the coxswain and senior non-commissioned officer of the ship; with us as well is Lieutenant David Connelly, the Aboriginal and Northern Affairs advisor Joint Task Force North and vice-chair of the Canadian Forces Liaison Council. Welcome, and thank you for all that you do.

Thank you, Mr. Abernethy. Mr. Beaulieu.
