It's a significant shift, more in who the board is reporting to and who is then left to respond back to the board and implement the board's decisions. It would shift more to a territory focus than the federal government....

Thematically, this is what we're hearing in all of the territories as well. I just wanted to get that question out.

I have no more questions.

The Chair Conservative Chris Warkentin

Thank you, Mr. Rickford.

We do want to thank you for coming in today. We appreciate your testimony, and obviously it will be considered as we continue to undertake our review of this bill. Thank you so much for being with us this morning.

Colleagues, we don't have much committee business. I just want to inform you that the next meeting, Thursday's meeting, will begin at 9:45 a.m. rather than 8:45 a.m. I'm hearing great disappointment about that, but we've had some changes with the scheduling, and we'll start at 9:45 a.m.

Ms. Crowder?

The Chair Conservative Chris Warkentin

Well, we can. That hadn't been the intention, but we certainly can do that.

If that's the case, committee, then we'll suspend, go in camera, and do that.

I again thank our witnesses.

We'll let people clear out. Thanks so much.
