We have reached the end of the meeting. On behalf of the committee, I extend thanks to the witnesses for their attendance, assistance and many responses to our questions today. Although it was mentioned near the end, we did not really touch on moving towards the age of 25 and the big gap there is between child, youth, and adult services. We would like to see a seamless transfer of services and supports there. We have raised a lot of issues. On behalf of the committee, I ask the witnesses to thank their teams for the really important and vital work they carry out day in, day out.

I wish them well in their work. It is perhaps something on which we as a committee could also make a number of recommendations to hopefully move on the recommendations that come out of the Mental Health Commission report. I thank our witnesses again for their assistance to the committee. The meeting is adjourned until 17 October at 4 p.m when the committee will meet again in private session. Separately, the Select Committee on Health will meet in public session tomorrow at 1.30 p.m. I thank everyone very much for their attendance.
