That is a fair point well made.

On behalf of the committee, I thank all the delegates for taking the time to come in here this morning and convince us of their arguments. They made very compelling arguments and the debate was very informative, productive, insightful and interesting. This morning's deliberations will help us. We have a difficult task, as I am sure the delegates will appreciate. There will be much deliberation. We have a series of meetings with various stakeholders and Mr. Cassells will be coming in on 24 November. I thank the delegates for their engagement. We certainly wish them well. A point was made about the staff on the ground working really hard, particularly over the recessionary years. The committee is grateful to the staff who have been working hard to help to support the young people we have entrusted to the delegates.
