I would echo my colleague's comments.

I want to thank all of our panel participants for doing an amazing job for us today and for everything you do. I encourage you to continue to do whatever you can to help eradicate violence against women in Canada.

I want to remind the rest of our team members that at Thursday's meeting we will have the RCMP and Public Safety visiting us. We'll be looking at budget approval for our GBA study and talking about the press release and letters, so you'll get some previews on that.

Also, it's come to my attention that the National Trade Contractors Coalition is in town. They're having a reception tonight and would like to invite our committee. They would like to chat about women in trades. It's from 5:30 to 7:30 in room 160-S, Centre Block.

I'll see you on Thursday. Have a wonderful night.

This meeting is adjourned.
