I think those are all the questions we have today. We welcome Ms. Hébert, although there were no questions directed to her. She's brand new in that department, about 10 days, as an assistant deputy minister.

Mr. Thompson, my understanding is that you are going to be leaving this department. Congratulations on being named associate deputy minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development as of November 20, 2017. Thank you for your service here and for the answers to the questions.

There have been a lot of questions asked on which you are going to get back to us, I believe. I would just encourage you to do that fairly soon. We are doing a study and we're writing a report on this, so please include the information, the questions that were asked, and any other questions you felt you maybe should have answered differently. If you have extra information you didn't bring forward, please include that so we can include it in the study as well. Thank you for being here today.

Thank you, committee. We wish Ms. Mendès well. She's going to be gone for the next few weeks, as she's doing important work in Bangladesh. We wish you the best there.
