We are very happy to receive further written responses. The word "cartel" was used. I do not recall who used the word, but it is potentially defamatory. It is a claim being made. It has not been substantiated. It is important to acknowledge that the evidence that waste providers are in cahoots has not been provided here today. I want to put that on the record. I thank all the witnesses for coming before the committee and those who joined us online. After a break of five minutes, we will begin the second session.
