First of all, I wish you the best of luck as you move forward. I think it's going to be a very important report. There's no sense in moving forward with this type of venture unless you can actually show there are substantial benefits to doing this over what we've done before.

I'll go back to the point, and I'm going to again focus on Mr. Voyer.

Oh, are we done?

Mr. Armstrong, I've given you a lot of leeway there.

Madam Groguhé, I think you have one short question.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mr. Weber, would it be possible to have the report you are publishing in June, sent to the committee?

We'd be glad to.

The Chair Conservative Phil McColeman

I think there's agreement that there be no further questioners. We're finishing up a little early. There really is a reason for this, as all of us here at committee do have to go to the House of Commons to vote, and it's a bit of a distance between this building and the Centre Block. This gives us a little bit of a cushion in getting there.

Thank you so much for taking the time to be here today for this study we're putting together. Thank you for your expertise.

The meeting is adjourned.
