The Chair Conservative Art Hanger

Thank you, Ms. Prober.

Are there any other questions from the members?

I would like to thank you very much for your appearance here and your presentation. This has added a substantial amount of information for us to examine, and I look forward to seeing what the results are overall. The debate we've had here this afternoon is going to contribute a great deal to Bill C-9.

Remember, you're still just a small part of the overall number of witnesses we have appearing. I want to thank you for staying as late as you have, and also the committee members. Thank you.

The meeting is adjourned.
