As no other members wish to comment, that concludes consideration of the instruments.Before we move into private to consider the remaining items on our agenda, I note that, although there will be further meetings in private to consider our draft reports, this is expected to be our last meeting in public. With that in mind, I thank all committee members, past and present, and our Parliament staff. We absolutely could not do this without you, and you have all contributed so much to the work of the committee. I also thank all those who have given evidence, particularly those who have shared their lived experience with us, which has allowed us to undertake our work in a much more profound and informed way.11:21Meeting continued in private until 11:41.
