It's just a comment, Madam Chair, for the witnesses.

This has been an exciting conversation, and I want you to know that if you're ready, willing and able, we would love to have written testimony from you if you feel you didn't have a chance to answer any of the questions. You can submit it to the clerk and we can include it in our review. Thank you so much.

Thank you, Madam Chair.

The Chair Conservative Marilyn Gladu

Absolutely. That's a very good point.

To our witnesses today, thank you. Your testimony was excellent, as was said.

Committee members, before we wrap up, I want to let you know that on March 9 we have a panel on unpaid work. Then we have an hour of committee business to consider the motions that we have and the drafting instructions for the analysts. On March 11 we have the minister for the status of women on the supplements, and maybe even the estimates if they come forward. Your dissenting report opinions for COVID-19 have to be submitted by March 12.

I see that we're at the end of our time. Is it the pleasure of the committee to adjourn?

Very good. Then we shall adjourn.

Enjoy your break week, and we'll see you all—
