I want to say something not so much in answer to your question but as a clarification of Mr. Lunney's comments.
We can only dream of the day when we can fly 25 people down here for this meeting. These students actually go to school in Ottawa. I didn't want you to think we have money for going out everywhere; I just wanted to clarify that. They go to school right downtown, on Dalhousie Avenue.
The second thing was that it has come to our attention that on March 15, some animal rights or humane treatment groups will be protesting on Parliament Hill. The Nunavut Sivuniksavut students have already held one counter-demonstration, last year, very effectively. They'll be doing the same on March 15.
I'll be there. I want to know whether you guys can be there.

Just as a point of clarification, lest there be disappointment, I believe that's a break week—there's a parliamentary recess that week—which may make it difficult for members. I don't want to leave anybody disappointed. I believe I'll be in Toronto.

Oh. Maybe we'll ask them to have their demonstration on a different day.
I would like to finally thank all of our witnesses, our interpreters, our students, for appearing here today. I think it's been a very productive meeting.
Thank you very much.
The meeting is adjourned.
