Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for coming. We heard a broad range of views today, and I was glad to hear them. Some of the comments were, of course, focused on what is in the budget implementation act, and some was on what is missing from the budget implementation act. You'll forgive me for focusing on the former rather than the latter, just so that it can help us in our process of eventually going through this implementation act clause by clause later in this process, if we ever get there, Mr. Chair.
