Il va sans dire que nous n'aurions pas pu présenter notre cinquième rapport sans le soutien de notre personnel — Catherine Piccinin, greffière du comité; Michel Patrice et Michel Bédard, conseillers parlementaires; et Sebastian Spano et Eric Pelot, analystes de la Bibliothèque du Parlement.
Our fifth report would, of course, not have been possible without the support of our staff — Catherine Piccinin, our committee clerk; Michel Patrice and Michel Bédard, our parliamentary counsels; and Sebastian Spano and Eric Pelot, our Library of Parliament analysts. We are very fortunate to be supported by such a talented group of professionals who have a commitment to the Senate, who care about its work, and who are dedicated to ensure that our process is fair and responsive.
