In Closing

My term expires on 19 June 2006. As a result, this is my last report as CSE Commissioner. I must say that I am extremely grateful for the opportunity I have had to serve Canada, this country that I love, in a capacity that has brought its challenges, but that I have found to be rewarding in so many different ways. My one regret will be if I leave this position without a resolution of the legal interpretation issues that have bedevilled this office since December 2001. If that does indeed turn out to be the case, I wish my successor well in bringing this matter to a satisfactory conclusion for all concerned.
