Does that satisfy the legal clerk? It does. All right.

Thank you to the committee, and thank you to the witnesses for their patience and assistance throughout. It's been very helpful.

We have now concluded Bill C-2 in committee. There is no further business.

I should remind members that we are going to begin our Thursday meeting one hour later. It will be in 253-D of Centre Block at 10 o'clock.

This meeting is adjourned.
