I do have a quick agenda item, but before our guests go, I just want to mention how impressed I was with some of the young people I met today at lunch. I was invited to speak to some of the students who are here from other countries and from the program you're helping to run. It was absolutely fantastic and very impressive. I understand that the competition is extreme and that the candidates we have here in Canada are the best of the best. The diversity of candidates, in terms of their discipline and also where they come from, is exceptional. So it's work well done.
