The Chair Conservative Leon Benoit

Thank you, Mr. Daniel.

I want to thank all of our witnesses here today very much for your presentations and for answering the questions from the committee.

I am going to suspend the committee briefly to go in camera to discuss future business.

I would ask the committee members to allow the witnesses to leave the room, because of course, an in camera meeting is only open to those authorized to be here.

We will suspend for a minute or two, and then we'll come back to discuss future business.

[Proceedings continue in camera]
