I hope that when you come back you'll be able to present us with some legislation that will guide us in the future, so that you're no longer an anomaly in the future. You can use your expertise to make it a reality.

Thank you very much.

Are there any final points for Ms. Sheehy or Mr. Smith?

Thank you very much.

We apologize for the number of times we asked you here, but we are finally done with all the divisions. Thank you very much, witnesses.

For committee members, tomorrow we start clause-by-clause study on this little bill at 11 o'clock. We'll go until we're done, after 3:30.

The meeting is adjourned.
