I welcome the responses from the Ministers of State. As no other members are indicating, we will conclude. I sincerely thank the Minister, who had to leave a little earlier, and the Ministers of State for their time this morning. They really had their homework done, which the committee appreciates. This is the first time the committee has had the Minister and Ministers of State from the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage before it to discuss the climate action plan. It has been a very valuable engagement, which we intend to make an annual process into the future. I have no doubt, year on year, the Minister, the Ministers of State and their successors will continue to be as diligently prepared as they were today. This engagement shows how the climate legislation is encouraging Departments and Ministers in a direction to develop climate action plans, implement them and adhere to them. Today's meeting is a strong example of that. I thank the Minister and Ministers of State and wish them well with that implementation as we move forward.
