I am going to wind our way towards a conclusion. On behalf of the joint committee, I thank our guests for joining us and for their submissions and the comprehensive manner in which they dealt with members' questions. As I said, this is an area the committee has indicated will be a specialist topic for us during the course of the year and on which we intend to produce a report. This engagement has been important to us and very informative. It is one to which we will revert.

Before I ask Ms McKenna to make a final comment, I thank her colleagues, Ms Quadrini, Mr. Casey and Ms Kennedy, for joining us. I express the appreciation of the committee members to Fr. Frank Bird in New Zealand, Mr. Onisimus in Nigeria and Mr. Ahmed in Somalia. Oftentimes we look on technology from a negative perspective but this afternoon we have seen its joys. I thank the witnesses for their contributions.
