I thank the witnesses. The committee has some private business to do.

I reiterate my thanks to the witnesses for coming in at such a level as they have and sharing with us what has been a pretty stark and shocking session from a humanitarian point of view. As Deputy Cronin said earlier, it is one of many crises, regrettably, in our world but certainly Sudan should not be forgotten or labelled as such. I would expect that as soon as we have a report from the Department of Foreign Affairs, we will be back in contact with the witnesses. In the meantime, I wish them Godspeed.

Before we go, I wish to mention that Deputy Devlin, who appeared on our screens earlier, is taking over from one of the members who has left us and is now a full member of this committee, as is Deputy Troy. We look forward to welcoming both Deputies Devlin and Troy at our next face-to-face meeting.
