Thank you very much, Mr. Deschênes.

That will complete our second panel.

I want to thank all our witnesses for being here today, particularly Ms. Levesque for being here for the full two hours.

Our next meeting is going to be on Wednesday, when we will continue our study of marine and coastal protections. I just want to put on the members' radar that we'll need to discuss relatively soon what we're going to study after the marine protected areas study.

With that, is it the will of the committee to adjourn?

1 p.m.

Some hon. members

Agreed.
