Thank you so much, Mr. Stanton.

Witnesses, on behalf of the committee, this has been a very long and challenging day for us all. We appreciate your patience in waiting for us to deal with the procedural matters. We appreciate your giving us your evidence and staying, in fact, a quite a bit longer.

The Chair Liberal Tom Wappel

I want to congratulate the committee in its entirety for its stamina, given that we've been at it since 9 a.m., so it's been a full work day. I think the taxpayers got their money's worth today.

I want to wish everybody a happy and safe long weekend—and break, working in the riding. We will see you after the break week.

Once again, witnesses, thank you so much.

We're adjourned.
