Thank you very much.
We've had Ms. Thomas sitting at the table, and although we have gone over time, I wondered if you had anything you wanted to share with us, just as a quick comment.

It is hard to throw this in, but I don't want to forget about the education of the women, because I think it's very important for them to be able to be economically sufficient. We are really struggling to get money for education at our training centre, and I think this should not be lost sight of, because I think that is going to be very helpful for them to be able to deal with these situations they're in.

Thank you very much.
I want to thank you once again for sharing and being so open and so very frank. I think every time we come somewhere we learn something new, not only in the place we come to but also from the different witnesses we hear from. You all bring a very new or different perspective that helps us to look at the picture in a broader and bigger way. Thank you again.
I would like to have a motion to adjourn.
