I was going to finish by saying that the creation of a stand-alone Department with a Minister at Cabinet level has given the issues of children and youth affairs a prominence and priority in the hierarchy that they did not necessarily have before. We have travelled a long way, but there is another ways to go.
I thank everyone for attending. Please convey to your colleagues and staff our thanks and appreciation. It is our last quarterly meeting of the calendar year. Whether we will be here in 2016 is a matter for others to decide, but I will remind members that the report on child care has been circulated since the meeting this morning.
