Thank you very much.
Could I ask members if there is agreement to excuse the witness?
I'm seeing a thumbs-up from Mr. Erskine-Smith, who is next.
Mr. Bains, if you're still with us, I want to thank you for your testimony today, and I appreciate your offer that if we have additional questions, you'll answer them in writing. If that happens, the clerk will follow up with you.
Thank you very much.
I'm going to turn now to Mr. Erskine-Smith. You have the floor to debate the amendment to the motion, please.
