The Chair Liberal Sherry Romanado

Thank you very much.

That wraps up our time today and actually wraps up our study for the proposed acquisition.

I would like to thank our witnesses for being here today. It was very helpful to get the insight in terms of the process and what we can expect. Thank you again.

With respect to our new study starting, if you haven't already sent your witness lists to the clerk, I suggest that you do so as soon as possible so that we can line folks up.

Once again, I want to thank the interpreters, the computer technicians, the analysts and the clerk. It's always good to see them, even during the constituency work weeks. I want to thank them for their work today.

With that, I call the meeting adjourned.
