As a reminder to committee members, we have PIPSC lined up for eight o'clock tomorrow morning in Centre Block, room 237C.

I want to thank our witnesses, Dr. Evans, Mr. Mayers, and Mr. White, for coming in and briefing us on very short notice and being able to give us the facts we were discussing earlier.
