Let me just thank the committee. I truly believe that committee work in Parliament is at the heart of our democracy. This is where members of Parliament and ministers are held accountable. It's an absolutely essential part of who we are.

Believe it or not, I enjoy coming to the committee. I do. It's challenging, and it should be. I look forward to the next time we meet, which probably will be some time in the fall.

Let me wish everybody a wonderful chance to recharge, to get back to their communities, to walk down the streets and have a cappuccino. It's five o'clock, so maybe have a glass of wine or a beer, so we can all stay in touch with the roots and the people who send us here. I look forward to reconvening with you in the fall.

Thank you very much for the chance to be with you.
