I wouldn't be focused on changing the culture more than focusing on changing the procedures and the leadership voice at this point. The culture will follow. If you have process people first, they may stumble and may not agree with it, but they'll do it. Eventually the next person will come and they won't ask why, and it will change.

Thank you.

Before you do that, the notice of meeting went until 12:00. We had a very important witness today, so we went over. I think there was implied consent to do that; however, the notice of meeting was until 12:00, so I have to ask the committee for unanimous consent to continue the meeting.

I'm getting signals from the other side that they won't consent. Unfortunately, you're going to have to hold your motion.

I want to thank you very much for coming with your well-thought-out testimony. It was very important that we hear from you. Thank you for proactively seeking to come and speak with us. I appreciate it and thank you for your service to Canada.

Before we go, I want to remind the committee we have an informal meeting with a delegation from Mali on November 28, from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., and on Wednesday, December 5, we have a delegation from Burkina Faso from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. You should all know about that.

At this point I'm going to have to adjourn the meeting.

Thank you very much.
