Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.

This is meeting 11. I guess the process we need to go through is to adjourn this meeting and take five minutes to make the transition over to meeting 12. We'll then hear from our witnesses, one in Calgary and one here--amazing technology.

We'll call that meeting to order once we have everything in place with the translation and the technology.

Meeting 11 is adjourned.
