That completes our business today. I thank everyone for their contributions. This is an ongoing process and we have our last hearings next week with two other groups. We then hope to complete our report by the second week in June. Today's contributions will be invaluable in drawing up that report.

I hope our report will provide some kind of roadmap for the future of the industry.
