Thank you.

We have to end questioning at this time.

Mr. Gauthier and Mr. Verheul, thank you very much for being here today. I'm quite sure that as the negotiations carry on, we'll probably see you back here sometime in the new year.

Thanks again, and Merry Christmas to both of you.

We'll break. We have to move in camera shortly. I'd ask any non-staff to clear the room as quickly as possible.
