Just as in the past, so many questions are asked here that it's impossible to get a real answer out. I would just invite both of you, if you have any further comments that you'd like to add, to please send them in to the clerk and we can get them on the record, especially some of the stuff.... I was trying to lead toward Quebec and why they are successful. Anything you can add there would be greatly appreciated.

The Chair Liberal Andy Fillmore

Mr. Obed, Mr. Hicks, thank you both very much for this compelling, rich testimony. It will be extremely helpful as the work of the committee proceeds. Thank you very much for your time today.

We'll just suspend for two minutes and then come back in camera for committee business.

Thank you.
