That brings us to the end of the first panel.
I want to thank both the ambassador and Madam McCollum for appearing before this committee.
Before suspending and organizing for the second panel, I'd like to inform members that the clerk circulated earlier today a draft budget in the amount of $22,350 for the committee's study on Syria. Our next meeting on this study is scheduled for April 14 and we may be welcoming witnesses travelling from Europe. While this is not yet confirmed, it accounts for the proposed amount.
Is it the pleasure of the committee to adopt this budget?
