Thank you very much.
I think with all the RDAs this week we've had a substantive history of the regional variations in the economy, so it's really been useful for us as well.

With that, we'll thank you very much for your presentations and your forthright answers. We do have a couple of quick issues to deal with, so thank you, Ms. King, Mr. Miller, and Mr. Spence.
The proposed recommendations from the parties on the CRA report will be mailed out to all the members tomorrow, or emailed, I guess. So you have time to think about the meetings at the first of the week.
The other issue we have to deal with is there are some members who would like to take staff with them on either one or the other of the travel. The rules are that no House resources are to be used for staff to travel. I think everyone understands that.
Suzie, what are the snags we could run into? Does anybody have a problem with staff? We have a bus going and if there's availability on it, they can take the bus. We'll have meals at some areas. Can they participate or not? It's those kinds of details.
As long as they carry Lisa's bags, that's the....
Is there a problem with that? Okay? We're all right with that?
Are there any other issues we had to deal with?
Then I thank everyone for their indulgence this week. I think we had a very interesting week.
Go ahead, Phil.

I have one question on that.
If it's one or more of your staff, how many?
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Wayne Easter
It would be about one.
Thank you, everyone, for your indulgence this week. I think it was good to have the RDAs in. It gave us a perspective we don't normally get.
See you Monday.
The meeting is adjourned.
