The Chair Conservative Karen Vecchio

As everybody knows, we now have other opportunities as well. You can submit your motions directly to the clerk using e-notices. There are many opportunities for us to do that. The motions we heard today are really exciting, and they are going to set a great foundation as we move forward on these studies.

Since we are not going to be debating at this time, I'd like to adjourn this meeting so that we can carry on, and then we'll reconvene these discussions at our next meeting.

The meeting is adjourned.
