I thank the witnesses on behalf of members and on my own behalf. Unless there are any further supplementaries, I will bring matters to a conclusion by saying this was an important engagement. The Civil Defence has been before the committee previously but it was important in the context of the forthcoming legislation. We value the update and the work that is being done right across the country. I want to thank the witnesses for meeting with us.

We have question-and-answer sessions most weeks with various stakeholders in government, but I have rarely heard so many direct answers to direct questions, and I thank them for that.
