Very quickly, I'm just following up on the question of lobbying, because of a question of this government's relationship with the data lobbyists—and there's nothing wrong with lobbyists.
John Brodhead was very involved with the Liberal government. He was in infrastructure, and he helped write the platform. Now he's the point person for Sidewalk Labs.
Prior to his being appointed to Sidewalk Labs or hired by your sister company, did any of the Google lobbyists meet with him?

I believe we met with the department of infrastructure to talk about transit investments between Toronto and Waterloo.

Thanks to Google and Colin again for coming to our committee.
We're going to forgo our committee business. We've made a decision about Thursday. We have the Dutch PM coming to speak, so we're not going to have committee on Thursday, where Facebook would have appeared. We're going to push that to another day.
Thank you for your testimony and for taking questions. Have a good day.
The meeting is adjourned.
