The Chair (Mr. Gary Schellenberger (Perth—Wellington, CPC)):
    Thank you very much for that support. I lay awake all night worrying that I might not be chair. I guess the hospitality room did work.
    Again, thank you very much for the support in electing me chair of the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage for this next round. I really do appreciate that. Congratulations to my vice-chairs for their election too.
    As Charlie said, it's all downhill from here. I don't think so. I think we're going to make this committee work very well.
    We'll move in camera to do our committee business.
