I thank Dr. Holohan. It is important that we have this conversation and this message. It has been said during the meeting by many members but as Chair of the health committee I thank the witnesses for the work they did, for their accessibility to the committee, for their voices and time and for the commitment they made collectively to keep us all safe. As one of the members said, they have navigated us through a difficult period. This period is still not over but hopefully there is light at the end of the tunnel. I know that hard and difficult decisions have been made. Many of the witnesses have been personally targeted for having made decisions that, ultimately, were made by politicians and not by the witnesses. I thank them. The contributions at today's meeting have been very helpful. As someone suggested, I look forward to seeing a slimmed-down version of NPHET. I thank the witnesses for their attendance.
