Before we adjourn, Chair, I just want to put on the record here that this afternoon there was a lot of panic, I guess, among interpreters, legislative clerks and law clerks to try to get amendments done. I get the rush, and I totally appreciate that, but I think that in consideration of the staff and the incredible work they have to do, with 24 hours we still would have had plenty of time to get this through.

For future consideration at this committee of any legislation or bills, I would strongly recommend that we try to share stuff ahead of time and give enough time for everybody on this committee and the respective members of Parliament and the necessary clerks, translation staff, etc., to do their jobs. I think it will make it run a lot smoother in the future.

I just wanted to get that on the record. Thanks, Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Ruff. That is duly noted and, at the same time, we have a chair on OJT, on-the-job-training.

The meeting is adjourned.
