The division bells are now ringing. We will have to end the committee session here. We will have 15 minutes, during the next sitting to discuss the work of the committee.

I want to thank our witnesses for their presence today. This was a short, but interesting period. We want to thank them for travelling here to see us.

On that, this meeting is adjourned.
