Thank you very much, Chair, and I hope that the fellow member of your caucus heeds your words in that regard.
I would just note that I was very pleased to have a chance to visit briefly with the 4-H members who joined the committee and watched some of the proceedings here earlier today.
I want to compliment them and make sure that it is on the record especially how valuable an organization 4-H is across Canada. They are building the leaders of today, and I have no doubt they will take their seats around tables like this one and in the House of Commons in the future. As I mentioned to the 4-H students before, those impromptu and prepared speeches at 4-H are exceptionally good. Those who have been through 4-H understand public speaking. It's great preparation for things like members' statements, question period and committee interventions. Kudos to everybody who is in Ottawa this week doing some advocacy on behalf of the 4-H organization. There is real frustration about the cuts that the Liberals have made to that organization.
I would, however, like to jump into the substance of what is being discussed here. It's interesting, because there are two very important items. Mr. Viersen has been talking about one. We have the auto theft issue. I will take a brief moment to talk about a story that a constituent shared with me.
