Yes, Madam Chair. Based on the very clear testimony we heard this morning, I think I'd like to withdraw my motion. I'm not sure how much added value we would get from having perhaps a two-session study. The delegates were very clear that all steps are being taken to protect our athletes and their families, and certainly I have confidence in their ability to manage our challenge. I'm satisfied with their answers. I'd like to withdraw my motion.

Good. Now I'd like to go in camera. We'll suspend for about a minute while we get that process under way.
