Thank you, Mr. Chair. I will try to be as quick as possible here. I would like to thank both sides for working together on this revised document. It was a lot of work throughout the process of developing it and to revise it. I really have to say that youth suicide prevention, to me, is very important, and it is getting the recognition it does need to deserve as we move forward on that. My colleagues talked about other priorities, and there was a lot of give and take. I know there were some issues on the mandate that I had to give up that were unrealistic, and I understood they were important for my riding, but for the global picture, sometimes you have to give some things up. I would like to thank everybody for working together and working hard as we move forward.
It is a challenge, and it would have been nice to do some stuff in the open, but sometimes work has to get done. As I said during it, I just want to move forward on this mandate. Sometimes we are able to achieve some stuff behind closed doors that we might have taken longer to do here. No disrespect to my colleagues who wish to do it in the open. I believe in open, transparent government, but sometimes we need to get work done. Sometimes it can be done behind closed doors. Some meetings are challenging. I know I was part of committees, and we had some pretty good conversations. I do not know if we could have done that out in the public.
I thank everybody for the hard work they did in developing a revised mandate that I think we can hopefully achieve through the remainder of the term, if not at least the majority of it. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
