I totally agree with my colleague. Everyone can be allowed to rest. It was a great meeting.
I want to thank all of the witnesses who appeared today. These are not easy meetings, but they are absolutely necessary to maintain the confidence of Canadians.
Thank you very much.

Thank you both very much. I will take that advice.
Colleagues, before we end the meeting, I would like to thank our witnesses for joining us today.
In reference to Mr. Sabia's comments regarding the distribution of documents, I have been advised that we can expect to receive them this Friday.
Also, Thursday's meeting will be to discuss a draft report on the Investing in Canada plan and the follow-up on the rail safety report.

Madam Chair, before you adjourn, could I just make one comment?

Deputy Minister, Department of Finance
Thank you.
Madam Chair, I just want to return to Mr. Lawrence's comment with respect to the timing of the delivery of documents. I think that's a reasonable comment on his part, but I also want to assure members of the committee that there are literally thousands of pages here and that translation takes a significant amount of time. There's a small team of people who are capable of doing this work, and I want to assure you that we are doing this as quickly, as thoroughly, and as professionally as we can. I do commit to getting you that material by the end of this week. I want to assure you that we're not dragging our heels here; we're doing everything we can.

Thank you very much, Mr. Sabia.
With that, the meeting is adjourned.
