I thank everybody for their insights and observations on the Bills before us. It is not often we have statutory and non-statutory organisations before the committee at the same time but it has been very helpful. There is a common thread in all of this. We all want the best possible scenario for our students in the education system, and we want to ensure there is a place for parents in ensuring their children have the best possible educational experience. We cannot forget the teachers and principals in all of this either.
