Bill Schaper

I was just going to say that from our perspective there is significant progress in the bill as it stands right now, and in its proposals, but if members wanted to take up that issue of the indirect support, that would be welcomed. As things currently stand, we'll need to be involved in the development of guidance on that and in making sure that guidance is very clear.

Guidance, of course, could never cover every possible circumstance that we might face.

Okay, on behalf of the committee, I want to thank all the witnesses. Sorry for the hasty conclusion.

The meeting is adjourned.
