I again record our appreciation. This is not the first time the witnesses have come before us. Their contributions today, opening addresses and responses have been hugely informative not only for the committee members but also, I hope, for others who may be listening. It was important that the witnesses had the opportunity to hear the earlier session. I would have liked for our guests to have stayed on and heard the second session. It might have been equally instructive but these are early stages. I hope many of the points reflected on by Mr. McGarr and Mr. McIntyre will be taken on board as this Bill presents further.
