Just fine, sir. I could go golfing, but I'm all right.

You know what I meant.
I want to thank you people for coming. It's a real pleasure to have you here.
We've given this issue a significant amount of time and thoroughness this morning, which I think it deserves. Coming from the south coast of Newfoundland, I share the views of my colleagues and know the great culture, heritage, and benefit of what we're talking about today, the close connection with the sea.
I realize the benefit. The area I come from and my home community have suffered great losses to the ocean. So it means a lot to us to sit here and talk about these issues, as we should as parliamentarians.
And I thank my colleagues for their indulgence of being here. I wish you all good luck. The committee will be back at work again on Tuesday.
With that, I'll adjourn the meeting.
