I have a point of order, Mr. Chair. Perhaps this is an inappropriate time, but I wanted to mention, given this is the second time I've gone through clause-by-clause, that I did find it helpful when there were a couple of interventions by the officials that flagged some challenges with the drafting. I just wanted to say that I certainly appreciate their expertise.
We all end up having to live with poorly drafted legislation and some that gets done by individuals with less drafting experience, so I appreciate the interventions, certainly, by Mr. D'Sa and others and would empower them to feel free to highlight challenges in the future as well. I think that makes things go more smoothly for us, and prevents us from having to come back and amend the legislation after it has been passed.
I just wanted to say thank you to the officials from that perspective.

Thank you, MP Chambers.
You bring up a good point. Officials are aware, or should be aware, that they can reach out to the clerk electronically. They can send an email, etc., to the clerk. We receive that and distribute that, so that we are ahead of things, hopefully, when we do this again down the road.
Let me say, members, I thought it ran very smoothly for the most part. I want to thank the legislative clerk, the clerks, the interpreters and everybody here who really came together, especially all the members for all their interventions that got us to this point.
On that, I think we have a beautiful spring evening out there.
I declare the meeting adjourned.
