The Chair Liberal John McKay

Thank you, Mr. Fisher.

On behalf of the committee, I want to thank both of you for your excellent presentations. We have had uniformly excellent presentations, and it has been very helpful to the committee.

It's interesting how over time, and over these various presentations, we begin to see consensus points. The two of you have brought forward some of those consensus points, so thank you.

With that, colleagues, we will adjourn until Wednesday. Thank you.

The meeting is adjourned.
