The Chair Conservative Chris Warkentin

Thank you very much.

I want to thank each and every one of you for coming and for staying longer than we had asked you to stay. We've overrun what we had planned in terms of a timeframe, but I think we got a lot of important discourse happening here today. We want to thank each of you for your contributions.

Colleagues, we will suspend this meeting and come back for a couple of minutes on future business.
