Thank you very much.
Thank you to the witnesses.
Your remarks were very interesting and enriching, from both intellectual and empirical perspectives. We are especially grateful that you came to meet with us during the summer, in mid-August. Thank you very much for your time and for sharing your experience and ideas with us. You are now free to carry on with your daily activities.
However, I invite the members to stay for about two minutes to study a very simple motion.
Thank you, Mr. Lijphart, for being with us from San Francisco today. It has been interesting to hear what you have to say.
Thank you, Mr. Pelletier. It was a pleasure to meet you after coming to know you through the media and on the political stage.
Colleagues, we have to deal with a housekeeping matter. As you know, the committee has an electronic survey on its website for the purpose of e-consultation around this question. We'd like to publish a press release, and we can only do that with your approval. The press release will give the public until October 7 to complete the survey if they wish to do so. The beauty of October 7 is that it is consistent with other deadlines we've set. For example, we've set October 7 as a deadline for submitting requests to appear and for submitting briefs, and so it will all be consistent.
Do you agree to our going ahead with a press release with this date?
