I just wanted to piggyback on Mr. Thibault's idea to say that Europe is doing exactly what he said they are doing, but we still have the natural resources, and this is really the key item here. We're lucky enough to have this combination of natural resources. Other regions do not necessarily have this chance, and we should seize this opportunity.

The Chair Liberal James Maloney

Thank you.

Thank you to all our witnesses. Unfortunately, that's all the time we have. As you can see, there's a lot of ground to cover here, and there would be a lot more questions if we had the time, but unfortunately we don't.

We do want to say thank you. You're the last panel on the study. It was a very interesting group. We're incredibly grateful for your time and for the effort you put into coming here today and for informing us as you did and bringing this to a conclusion on a very positive note. Thanks very much, all of you. You are free to go.

As for everybody else, please log off and then log back in so that we can move into the in camera session. Thank you.
