It has been a long morning. I thank Mr. Watt and his colleagues for their answers this morning. I believe he is right when he said that confidence has been undermined. He made the point that citizens have rights and, unfortunately, many citizens feel they are forced to go to the courts to get supports. I am aware of cases where people have been waiting for more than two and a half years for an assessment and then possibly have to wait another two and a half years for supports. Unfortunately, those are some of the reasons why people feel they have to go to the courts. I thank Mr. Watt for his answers this morning. It has helped the committee in its deliberation. That concludes our business for today.
