One of the exciting things is that there are so many new drugs coming onto the market. Oncologists are talking about life-changing drugs that are coming onto the market. That is the positive message. It goes back to finding a faster way of introducing the drugs to the market. That was one of the reasons for our meeting today. I appreciate the witnesses coming in. The engagement was really helpful. No doubt some recommendations will be made following today's meeting. There will possibly be a recommendation on multi-annual budgeting, which seems to make sense. It will be a matter for the committee to consider. I thank the witnesses for their comprehensive discussion with the committee today.
