Oh, I'm sorry. I thought I did that.

The witnesses are excused. Once again, thank you very much for your patience with us. Thank you.

Number three is that the chair, clerk and analysts be authorized to make such grammatical and editorial changes as may be necessary without changing the substance of the report. Number four is that, pursuant to Standing Order 109, the committee request that the government table a comprehensive response to this report and that the Chair present the report to the House. Are we all agreed?

Some hon. members

Agreed.

The Chair Liberal Ahmed Hussen

Our next meeting will be on Thursday, with clause-by-clause consideration of Bill C-219. I know you're all eagerly anticipating that.

With that, I adjourn the meeting.
