Are you all in and all done?
That will end our round of discussions.
Minister, I sincerely want to thank you and all the officials in the room who came as well.
I want to mention, though, that we have had over the last three days, and no doubt will again tomorrow, some excellent presentations by folks with a wide ranging view of recommendations, which we will compile and put in a report to have tabled by February 28. We will be meeting on it as committee members from all sides. We will have a number of recommendations that we certainly hope will be considered, because they're based on heartfelt presentations by people who came on very short notice to this committee.
If you were to talk to the clerk, I think he would tell you that with pretty near every call that was made, the invitation was accepted on very short notice. Therefore, we need to see in the budget that their efforts in coming before this committee to have their say are heard and acted upon in the best way possible. I know we really have to control our spending as well, but that's where we hope to go as a committee.
With that, we will meet tomorrow from 11 until 2 p.m., and from 3:30 to 6 p.m.. As mentioned earlier by the parliamentary secretary, the Minister of Finance will be before the committee from 12:30 to 1:30 on February 19.
Thank you again, and thank you to the officials.
The meeting is adjourned.
