Thank you very much, Mr. Maguire.
Minister, on behalf of the committee and all members, I want to take the opportunity to thank you for coming out.
With that, we are going to move to votes on the main estimates. I want to thank the department heads for coming and being the support that is sometimes needed. I think with the thoroughness of the minister, obviously we see he's very much in tune with the issues around his portfolio, and we thank him for that.
We will release the witnesses, the department heads, because we do have votes. That will mean that you won't have to come back.
Thank you again, Minister.
With that, we will have the votes on the main estimates.
