The Chair Conservative Rob Merrifield

I wanted to mention that, because actually I would echo what was said over here in the sense that you have done a great thing for prosperity and the possibilities for future trade.

With that, I want to thank you for coming in and sharing with the committee.

The meeting is adjourned.
