Environment Committee on March 13th, 2012

[The Chair, Conservative, Mark Warawa]

Did you want to make a quick comment?

[Peter Kent, Conservative, Thornhill, ON]

Thank you for your advice. That is an appropriate suggestion, and it's one we will follow up on.

[The Chair, Conservative, Mark Warawa]

Minister and witnesses from the departments, thank you so much for being with us. We had you for almost a whole hour. Thank you so much.

[Peter Kent, Conservative, Thornhill, ON]

I apologize. The circumstances are not our creation. I would be glad to come back at any time that is appropriate for the committee. There is a great deal to talk about. I know that my officials are disappointed that they don't have the second hour alone with you.

Good day.

[The Chair, Conservative, Mark Warawa]

Thank you so much.
