I thank Mr. Moran and Mr. Butler for their attendance and for informing members of the issues as Revenue perceives them, as well as for answering members' questions. I hope the joint committee has conveyed to them the frustration of the public in this regard. Moreover, this frustration is increasing rather than decreasing because there do not appear to be solutions on the horizon. However, Mr. Moran has explained some of the reasons for that. Arising from the discussion today, it is obvious that this is a major issue. While the areas may be confined, the issues within those areas are significant and obviously, the joint committee will continue hearings on this matter. We were disappointed that for various reasons, the insurance federation and the consumer association did not appear before the joint committee today. However, they will appear before the joint committee in the future in an effort to get all the stakeholders involved to come to a solution. We wish Revenue well in getting to the bottom of its part of this problem and thank the witnesses.
