On a personal note of my own, I’d just like to acknowledge Senator Mockler’s unifying leadership as Chair of the Standing Senate Committee on National Finance. I want to thank him for his generous contribution. Thank you very much, Senator Mockler.

Honourable senators, I have the honour to table, in both official languages, the report of the Assemblée parlementaire de la Francophonie concerning the Bureau Meeting and Forty-eighth Annual Session, held in Tbilisi, Georgia, from July 4 to 8, 2023.
