Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In speaking to the motion, I want to address a concern that has been raised, specifically when the application was withdrawn. As Mr. Steen has indicated, there is nothing to prevent the Conflict of Interest Commissioner from transmitting the report. In fact, it would now come directly to the Speaker. By our statute, that automatically triggers that it must be tabled at the soonest available opportunity. There is nothing here that Mr. Steen should be reading into this that is not being said. We expect that now, immediately, the Speaker will have the report and will endeavour to table it as soon as he possibly can. That is the intent here. Thank you.
