Thank you, Chair Tochor.
This goes a little bit to the point Ms. Bradford made about the motion to adjourn.
I do think, going forward, that we have to remember that as parliamentarians we are in charge of this committee. No offence to anybody's whip's office—I say that with whip staff behind my back here—but we decide when the meetings start and we decide when the meetings stop. If we wanted the meeting to stop after Mr. Balsillie at one o'clock, we could have done that regardless of what the whips' offices say.
I want to thank all the staff who support this committee for staying the hour extra. I'm sure you have other things to do besides sitting here. I want to thank all the interpreters and staff for doing that, because they do it in support of us.
We decide. If we want to end the meeting at 1:00 because it's 11 to one, that's when we end the meeting. It's for us to decide. I say that for going forward.
Thank you.
It might be my last meeting on this science committee after saying that, but it's nice to be here.
