Very good. I thank Mr. Condon.

I am not sure if any of the members have raised their hands. We can have another round of questions if anybody wishes to come back in. Is anyone offering?

We have covered the topic selected for today. I thank everybody. Some members have had to leave to attend functions and commitments. Over the course of the afternoon we have had a very strong engagement. I thank the witnesses. Ms McLoughlin-Burke did not have an opportunity to contribute but I am sure she has contributed in a significant way. I know she contributed to the submission because I read it and it has her name all over it. Her inputs are clear. Technology lets us down at the best of times. I thank Mr. Herrick for his contribution. I also thank Mr. Condon’s for his contribution on behalf of the Department. They were very valuable contributions. I thank my colleagues on the committee, as always, for what has been a significant and robust engagement. We are all the better for it. That concludes our engagement with the witnesses on this topic. I propose that we publish all the opening statements on the committee’s website. Is that agreed? Agreed. On behalf of the committee, I thank the witnesses again. I also thank our staff and secretariat for their preparation work and the efficient running of the meeting.

Is there any other business? There is a brief opportunity to raise other business. There does not appear to be any other business. That concludes our engagement.
