Thank you.
Thank you, MP Baker
I'm about to thank the panellists.
You know, MP Ste-Marie just mentioned everybody who really makes this all happen: our clerk, our analysts, our interpreters, our technicians and everybody else. However, who we really have to thank are our witnesses, who take time out of their very busy days to come here and inform our committee, in these pre-budget consultations, through their testimonies, through the many answers that they give to the members' questions and also through their briefs.
If there's anything else that you'd like to submit to our committee that maybe was not dealt with here today at the table, we'd ask that you send that directly through our clerk.
You are our final witnesses for this study, which we hope to finish, hopefully, by the end of the year. We'll cross our fingers that we're able to hand over our report to the House of Commons and then through to the finance minister.
As we conclude this meeting, I want to, on behalf of the committee, thank you again for having us here in beautiful British Columbia, in Vancouver, and for your testimonies.
Members, you received a note about sharpening your pencils, looking through everything and starting to get into some of the preliminary recommendations to help out our analysts on that report. We said Wednesday, end of day. We will have more time to get more in, but please start honing in on the recommendations that you feel are most important for this year's pre-budget consultations and report.
Thank you very much. That will conclude our meeting. We are adjourned.
