All done. I thank the witnesses for attending. It is a most interesting, challenging and important topic. As Deputy Ferris stated, we must consider lending our support to it. I get the sense that this is just the beginning, though, as there remains a great deal of work to be done in the public realm - to change people's mindsets and get them thinking and focusing on this - and internationally. We are probably not the worst country in the world by any means, but this will have an impact globally, so it is important from that point of view.
