Thank you so much to all the witnesses for being here, and to the community and diaspora for being here in support.
To those in the back, we recognize your presence and, more than that, the time you're taking to support the four who are speaking on behalf of the community. Your presence is powerful. The fact that you are here supporting those who are speaking says a lot about what they are presenting to all of us over here. For that, please know that your words are powerful.
More than that, there is wind in your sails. We've all heard from colleagues that Tigray is an issue that we must shed more light on. We've been approached organically about this. The wind is in your sails. We wish you strength in your advocacy. We wish you everything that's good.
We'll conclude this and suspend for five minutes. We're going to go into a closed session to take care of the business of our committee. We have five minutes. I ask that members and staff be here after that, but you have five minutes to mix and mingle.
Thank you again for being here.
