I'm going to ask if the committee would be open to sending a letter to the minister to ask the minister to fulfill the part of her mandate letter that asks for the Canada caregiver credit to be a refundable tax-free benefit.

I would ask the committee to agree with sending a letter.

We are now out of time.

We started at 8:15.

What is the wish of the committee? Is it the wish of the committee to extend or to adjourn?

I don't see any consensus, Madame Zarrillo. You can raise that at the next meeting.

With that, thank you to the witnesses and members.

The committee is adjourned.
