Thank you.
You can certainly see the statistics as to whether or not that is going to imply that there has been any sort of charter breach. That would be an argument that a lawyer would need to construct. But I must repeat that it's certainly our obligation, and one that we take very seriously, to ensure that we exercise our responsibilities in full conformity with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Thank you very much.
Now just before we adjourn, I want to inform the committee that the finance committee of the great nation of Ghana has asked to meet with our finance committee on Tuesday, May 6, at eleven o'clock. That information will get to your office via the clerk tomorrow, but I just want to give you that information. That's here, not in Ghana, unfortunately, but nonetheless, with that, I want to call this meeting—

The time has gone, and we can deal with it at the next meeting, unless there is unanimous consent to extend the hours. There is not.
The meeting is adjourned.
