Can I just say that it is past 5:45 p.m. and the minister has been waiting for an hour? Can we just agree through you, Chair, to thank the minister? Hopefully, we can hear from him in the future, but we can let him leave and let the witnesses know that the minister was here and he was prepared to speak to the issue.
I just want to say thank you to him and the department for being here and to say, on behalf of the committee, I'm sorry for wasting his time.
