All I ask is that you have a look at the site, cifsci.org. There are a lot of videos, documentaries, and all the research. Everything that's being translated into English will be put on the site. It gives you a picture of what we're doing. In terms of the video, there are no words to replace a video. So good viewing to all of you.

The Chair Conservative Joy Smith

I want to thank all the witnesses for appearing today, especially with the inclement weather out there.

Dr. Mottron, your perseverance in getting here, from Montreal to Ottawa, I can relate to that this weekend. Your input was very insightful and will be very useful to the committee.

I will adjourn the committee until we go into another committee at 11 o'clock.
