Thank you, Ms. Kwan.

I would request both the witnesses to provide the information that has been requested by the committee member. Is there any timeline you can provide us now, or can you provide that information afterwards?

We have to end this meeting right now. The witnesses will let us know about the timeline, when they can provide us the information. Once I have that timeline, I will communicate it to all the members.

I understand that.

Madam Chair, very quickly, I just want to note, in terms of the study, the limitation of the study and the timeline, that we need to receive that information before this study is over.

The Chair Liberal Salma Zahid

It's not a point of order. I will have to wait for the communication from the witnesses. Once we have the information, if it doesn't fall in the timeline, then we will communicate with the witnesses.

With that, I want to thank both of the witnesses for appearing before the committee today and providing us with this important information. Thank you once again on behalf of all of the members.

The meeting is now adjourned.
