I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for coming up and for being very courageous and very sturdy, with the two days of heavy travelling. I want to thank you for taking me up on the challenge. I'm very pleased we were able to do this trip before we rose for the summer.
Again, my greatest thanks and gratitude.

Thanks, Ms. Karetak-Lindell.
On behalf of the committee members and the staff, we want to thank you, and Susan from your office, for all the work you did in coordinating our activities in Iqaluit and Pangnirtung. It was a memorable trip.

I think it's very fair to say that for all of us who had the opportunity to travel to Nunavut this week, for the rest of our careers, when we deal with issues touching on Nunavut, we will deal with them with a greater sensitivity and understanding of the realities, the opportunities, and the challenges in that place. So I thank you for bringing that together.
The last issue is that on Monday during our 3:30 time slot, perhaps we can meet for one hour rather than two. We need to talk about committee business. We do have other legislation to consider and we're getting very near to the end of the session. We also need to discuss how we'll deal with supplementary estimates.
With that, the meeting is adjourned.
