Colleagues, are we good to adjourn?

Colleagues, just to confirm, we're doing Bill C-290 for two hours on Monday, but I will need about 15 minutes to go over McKinsey documents. We will at least 10 minutes for McKinsey documents. I'll try to send out a bit of information in advance so that we're ready to talk about what we want to do with the documents.

Colleagues, thanks. The meeting is adjourned.
