I don't want to put a damper on it, but just so you know, that would actually not be a point of order.

Monsieur Jean, you might be called back for something else next time, it sounds like.

On behalf of PROC committee members, I do want to thank you for making yourself available, especially as we are meeting in the evening. I do believe your comments were quite insightful, at least for me.

I also want to commend members for the exchange and the level of questions that were brought forward. It really does speak to the seriousness of it.

Mr. Jean, if something else comes to mind that you would like to share with the committee, please just send it to the clerk. We'll have it distributed to the members.

With that, we wish you the best. Congratulations on becoming a grandfather again. She's a lucky girl.

Please keep well and safe. The meeting is adjourned.
