Yes, that was in response to the request of the minister to table the letter.

Thank you for the opportunity to be here with you today. I will not repeat my remarks, but I would say that I do look forward to your report on human trafficking. I look forward to some very concrete recommendations that this government may be able to act on. I recognize that there were some very good questions regarding the next steps that could be taken. I invite the committee to continue their work on that and many areas. I applaud you and commend you for your work.

Thank you.
