I thank the witnesses for coming before us today. The discussion has been productive. I hope it will benefit both committee members and the witnesses, having heard members' views. I admire their passion for the work they do daily, the goals they want to reach and the journey they want to take. If the committee can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me or any member. I firmly believe that education is a key enabler and cornerstone of rehabilitation for prisoners. It provides a clear pathway to a better future. I admire and commend the witnesses for their continuing work.
