Thanks, I'm just waiting for the light to go on. Thanks, Madam Chair. Yeah, I guess what -- the process convention does set out some timelines and, you know, steps for committee to work with departmental staff, with the technical working group. And those are good things. But it's really silent on how public any of that can or should be. And we did exchange a number of written communications with -- as committee with the Minister. And I think it would be helpful for people, for the public, to know how that process went back and forth and what the outcomes were in some cases. And I think as much as we've tried to do some of that in the report itself, I think we should make more of an effort to be a little bit more transparent and try to find ways to make more of that information public. And that's what this recommendation is aimed at, is that another lesson that we've learned in going through this is that we try to find ways to make that exchange of information, of views, and the work that happens during the collaborative, we make it public. Thanks, Madam Chair.
