All right.

That closes the public session.

I'm going to ask committee members to stay for a very brief discussion on committee business in regard to Thursday's lineup of presenters. It will only take a couple of minutes, but it will be in camera.

Thank you so much for attending. Meegwetch—with three minutes left.
