Thank you.
To clarify Mr. McCallum's remarks concerning the amount of money pertinent to your presentations, we should not confuse the witnesses with comments that only the projected surplus is what's at issue here. We are, after all, charged with the responsibility of making recommendations on the budget--the entire expenditure regime of the government. So I want to make sure that the witnesses don't believe their appearance here today is of little consequence. I wouldn't like that to be on the record, because it is of great consequence.
On behalf of the committee, I thank you very much for being here. I appreciate your presentations very much. We invite the next panel to replace you in the seats you now occupy.
Thank you.
I'd like to announce to committee members that our next meeting is scheduled for 10 a.m. Thursday. Lunch will be provided.
