Thanks very much. I only asked for 15 seconds, so I'll try to keep it to that.
I just want to acknowledge that I have an intern, Lauren Maher, who you might have seen joining me for the last number of months, who's finishing up with us on committee today. She comes through a great program from the U.K. The University of Leeds has a great partnership with Carleton, for those who are interested. I've used the program twice now, and Lauren did not disappoint.
I wanted to say thank you for your efforts in the committee.

Excellent. Thank you very much.
As the chair of the committee, I would like to take the opportunity to thank all of the support staff throughout the 2017 year, whether it's the translators, the people working on the videos, or everybody, for all your great tasks over here.
I also want to thank the messenger. I found out all that you did today.
To our translators, of course, I'm sorry for speaking so quickly, but that's just who I am.
Of course, I'd really like to thank the three here at the front, our clerk as well as our two analysts, for all the hard work you did.
To all our staff, thank you very much for a great 2017. We as members of Parliament would not be able to do it without you, so thank you very much.
Merry Christmas to everyone.
We're going to adjourn today's meeting.
