It's just a few minutes, I think.

I just wanted to say, on behalf of all the members who probably didn't get the time in during their questioning rounds, that we are really happy to see your health bounce back and to see you here. We're really pleased that you were able to be with us, and your jovial nature and your willingness to always answer as fully as possible is appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you, Ruby. Thank you, colleagues.

Al Sutherland was taking notes, as well as Manon Paquet, and we'll provide as quickly as we can the specific things that we undertook to provide to you, Madam Chair, so you can distribute them to committee members. Please don't hesitate to reach out if we can be helpful. I'll also follow up with the appropriate context for a briefing from security and intelligence officials for your committee.

Thank you very much.

You're going to have a really good rest of your day, then.

Thank you.

To the rest of the committee, I just wanted to quickly mention, as I did at the outset, that we weren't able to get that Wednesday time slot in the evening, so our next meeting is Thursday, which is our usual time slot. We're going to have Elections Canada on the main estimates and the supplementary estimates. The senior officials will be accompanying Monsieur Perrault.

On the 24th we will have the Speaker and House of Commons administration and PPS on the same estimates.

On November 26 we have a three-hour meeting with panellists for our COVID report.

As I mentioned at the beginning, because this Thursday's meeting is the two-hour meeting, the next following few meetings are longer.

I'm going to try to secure maybe an extra hour so we can have subcommittee time to plan out the prorogation study at that time. Look in your emails for a notice as to whether the subcommittee meeting will be happening this Thursday. Hopefully, if we can secure it, you should receive notice tomorrow.

Thank you. I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

The meeting is adjourned.
