Thank you very much.
We are going to break and go in camera in a couple of minutes.
Mr. Keddy, you have two minutes to finish off the question and answer period.

Two minutes is just time enough to say thank you to both of our witnesses. There were some excellent comments given here today, and terrific testimony.
I can't allow this to close without saying that competition generally in industry is good. If we have a major auto show in Tokyo and we're no-shows at it, then how do we expect to sell vehicles there? It really does make me shake my head.
On the farm side, I appreciate your comments on supply management. It has not stopped us from signing nine trade agreements since we formed government in 2006, and I don't think it'll stop us from future agreements.
With those comments, Mr. Chairman, since I know we have a little bit of time for some other business, I'll just say thank you.
And those were great answers, too.

The Chair Conservative Rob Merrifield
Thank you, Kathleen, and Dave, for coming. We certainly appreciate that.
Mr. Keddy has already thanked you, and on behalf of the committee, I thank you very much as well.
We'll now break to go in camera—

Mr. Chairman, I'm happy to speak to the motion, and I would like to have this motion debated in public.

We have the motion on the floor. We can discuss the motion or move to a vote.

I think I was on first, Mr. Chairman. I had my hand up. I know you don't look to the left, but you should.

The Chair Conservative Rob Merrifield
Mr. Keddy has moved that we go in camera. It's non-debatable. All in favour?
