Very good.

That brings this meeting to a close.

I just wanted to thank our witnesses.

Just because I know your resumes are very important to you, you might want to know that you're witnesses numbers 59, 60, 61, and 62 of our hearings, and that we have had, over the last nine days, 11 meetings. We've heard from 62 witnesses and we have received over 100 written briefs to be considered. Your testimony, as well as that of 58 others, will be considered starting tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock in room 237-C in Centre Block.

We will gather again tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock. We will meet twice tomorrow to give instructions to the analysts. The end is in sight.

Thank you very much.

The meeting is adjourned.
