Okay, we have to cut the answer off at that.

Mr. Cullen, a quick point of order. Please do make it quick. The next committee is waiting.

I understand.

Through you to the clerk, Chair, there's been a great deal of interest, obviously, in the public for the hearings. I'm wondering if we can see if it's possible to have Thursday's meeting televised, or in a televised room, I suppose.

The Chair Conservative Leon Benoit

You make that request, Mr. Cullen, which you've done, and the clerk will do her best to accommodate it.

Thank you all very much for your presentations and for answering the questions today. I found it very informative. Thanks again.

I look to see the committee on Thursday at nine o'clock.

The meeting is adjourned.
