The Chair Liberal Ron McKinnon

I'd like to thank everyone. I'd like to thank our panel for sharing their time with us today. I'd like to thank all of the members, of course, for being here and asking tough questions.

I'd also like to thank, once again, the House of Commons staff and technical personnel for all of the work they're doing behind the scenes to put this together. We still have a few wrinkles to iron out, but I think we're getting through them. Once we on the front end start to push the right buttons and speak into our mikes, it works out pretty well.

Thanks, everybody.

With that, the meeting is adjourned.
