Thank you, Ms. James. The time has expired.

Mr. Minister, on behalf of the committee I thank you for giving up two hours of your time, and your members of the department as well. You've survived another session of the immigration committee. Thank you for coming.

The witnesses are excused.

Before you leave, ladies and gentlemen, let me advise that there will be no meeting on Tuesday or Thursday of next week. The subcommittee will meet—a notice will be sent—on Thursday at 9:30 at a locale to be determined. The purpose will be to discuss the future and possibly—hopefully, by that time—discuss what we're going to do if the House approves the report we sent to the House.

Yes, we'll have a recorded vote, Mr. Lamoureux.

You're going to have to hurry on these things, Mr. Lamoureux, because I'm giving you a break. You've done this to me before. Technically the answer is no, because we've already called the vote. I will do it, but this is the last time—ever.
