Today's discussions have been fantastic. There's been a lot of different viewpoints, many viewpoints that where individuals disagree with each other or see the world in very different ways, but it's fostered a sense of deeper relationship. And that doesn't always align, but the most important thing as leaders is really listening and hearing other people's perspectives, even when you disagree with them. And we have seen that in action today. And that is what's critical. And I think that's one of the aspects of the power of convening. You know, BMO has been doing business in the U.S. since 1818. We know the power of convening half our businesses in the U.S, half our businesses in Canada. We help companies every day in terms of finding opportunities, investing and prospering. And so this conference has created an opportunity of deepening those relationships and finding those sense of opportunities and the path forward.
