Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. Before we finish our work for tonight I would like to, as government House leader, express sincere thanks to the House of Commons and all those who have assisted us this evening.
The decisions about having these deliberations take place actually started around four o'clock this afternoon and a lot of people went to a lot of effort, both members of the House, staff and of course witnesses, some of whom travelled great distances through very adverse weather conditions tonight to be with us and we appreciate their cooperation.
Officials of departments, agencies, and the officials of the House have as they always do provided great efforts in facilitating our discussions here tonight using a process that has not been used frequently, as has been observed.
The short notice in which this matter was discussed obviously caused a lot of disruption to the schedules of many people in the House, to witnesses and other officials, and we thank them and all the officers of the House as well who assisted today.
I simply want to thank all of them and make the observation in passing that I think all of us in the House can be proud that today we did some good work that has left Canada a better place, and will help the health and lives of thousands of people here in this country and around the world. For that we can all be proud.

The Deputy Speaker Bill Blaikie
I might just say in passing from the Chair to the House that tonight was an awful lot like what I think a lot of Canadians think Parliament should be like every day.
It was more like the Parliament I thought I ran for 28 years ago, but it is too late for me.
I hope that tonight might be an example for all of us as to what Parliament can be when it is at its best: disagreement, but civility and everybody listening to each other. It was wonderful.
It being 11:35, pursuant to order made earlier this day this House stands adjourned until tomorrow at 2 p.m. pursuant to Standing Order 24(1).
(The House adjourned at 11:35 p.m.)
