Sébastien Lemire Bloc Abitibi—Témiscamingue, QC

Yes. In fact, I'd just like to make a comment.

I know this is theoretically a parliamentary break week, but I noticed at one point that nearly half the members of this committee had their cameras switched off. I therefore encourage us all to show a little more discipline. At one point, a Conservative member who isn't even a member of this committee was the only Conservative who had his camera on when he spoke.

I understand that some of us are at home. However, out of respect for the people we invite here, we should make sure this doesn't become a habit. We must show some discipline and be alert and attentive to the witnesses.

I'm not filing a complaint here, but I think this is important for our committee.

The Chair Liberal Sherry Romanado

Thank you very much, Mr. Lemire. Duly noted.

With that, I will thank the witnesses for being with us again today. It's always a pleasure to have you here. You're almost honorary members of INDU at this point. Thank you, again, for your time. It's greatly appreciated.

I'd like to give a special shout-out to all the folks who are helping us have these meetings in constituency weeks.

MPs, as you said, I know how hard it is to try to juggle constituency time as well as committee time and so on, so thank you very much for your rigour and for being with us today.

With that, I will just gently remind you that if you don't have your witnesses in to the clerk with respect to the next study, please make sure that you do so or else we'll be having shorter meetings.

With that, I call this meeting adjourned. Thank you very much.
