Thank you, Mr. Allen. Our time is up.

I have two minutes. I have a couple of things I want to ask the committee.

But I will first thank the witnesses very much--Barbara Pike, David Coon, and Stephanie Merrill--for being with us today. Your input was very helpful and is much appreciated.

Before I adjourn the meeting, I would like to remind people that tomorrow noon is the deadline for getting your witness lists to the clerk on the regional economic impacts of oil and gas development and on offshore oil and gas drilling off Canada's west coast. So perhaps you could get the witness lists in tomorrow.

Two other things. We'll try to get witnesses for the meetings on Tuesday, December 14, the second last day, and December 16. We'll certainly invite witnesses on the regional economic impacts and offshore oil and gas, but whether enough will come is the question.

Do you want to book a meeting for Thursday, December 16, the last Thursday before the Christmas break?

1 p.m.

Some hon. members

No.

The Chair Conservative Leon Benoit

Okay, we won't book that. We don't want to invite witnesses only to have them find out there's no meeting. There's a consensus that we don't invite witnesses for that meeting, so we'll do our best for December 14. The others are pretty much arranged.

Thank you all very much for your input.

The meeting is adjourned.
