On behalf of the committee, I thank both the Minister, Deputy McConalogue, and the Minister of State, Senator Hackett, for coming in before the committee this evening, and also thank their officials. We have had an extensive examination of forestry strategy. As I stated at the outset, we all hope that it works and delivers the afforestation targets that we want to see, both for the forestry industry and for our challenge with climate change.

The next public meeting of the committee will on Wednesday, 11 October at 5.30 p.m. The agenda will be the challenges facing the fruit and vegetable industries. As there is no further business, the meeting now stands adjourned.
