Just for the record, I wasn't saying “no” to anything other than the vote that was called. I was registering my vote as a “no”, as was my colleague Will Amos, who is second. We're in the middle of a vote.

Let's move on to NDP-93. We're in the middle of a vote.

Thank you very much. We have completed the bill.

Before I hit the gavel, I just want to thank all the staff up here at the front who have been helping to keep me organized, and all the staff in the back, who have been doing all the work for the MPs. Thank you very much to all of you, and to all of those in the back who are hanging in there to help us.

Also, thank you to the MPs. I know it's been a very gruelling process, but we have gotten through it, a lot of hard work was done, and we have definitely improved the bill significantly.

The meeting is adjourned.
