The clerk has just told me we have the winner of Young Scientist of the Year 2023 coming in next week to speak on a social science project. In fairness, the committee has brought in a huge number of young people to have their voices heard like never before. We have 15- and 16-year-olds coming before the committee and it is so important to have their voices heard on a range of different subjects.

I thank the witnesses for coming before the committee. I say genuinely that it has been very informative for me and I know for the other members of the committee as well. The witnesses are the leaders in their field in different organisations. I compliment them again on the work of all of their organisations. It is very much appreciated. Their feedback will be part of the ongoing work we are doing in the committee.
