I thank our witnesses for their engagement and our members for their informed questions in terms of the urgency to try to move this on in terms of the option of protocol and the entire UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, CRPD. We are trying to get that underpinning that in all we do as a State in terms of the disability sector we are trying to make lives better for everybody and be more inclusive.

It is our first engagement. We look forward to further engagements because we will have further questions and issues to raise. The witnesses have outlined the timeframe. We will be watching this closely and we may engage with the witnesses in the fall of the year on other issues. I thank our witnesses for participating remotely and also the members and our team in the background.

Our public meeting stands adjourned. We have a private meeting on Tuesday, 22 June 2021, at 4 p.m.
