The Chair Conservative Bob Mills

Does everybody agree with my assessment of what I've suggested? Are we okay?

Mr. Thompson, you've heard the word directly, I guess. We thank you very much for appearing. We look forward to Wednesday, when we can deal with the report. Maybe we can focus on which chapters specifically would be best for us to really dig into and bring in the proper witnesses and so on. Perhaps we can focus on that.

Thank you very much.

The meeting is adjourned.
