I hope that, in six months, we won't be saying that we were naive. I believe what people tell us. We believe what we see. We think people are acting in good faith.
In fact, we've had these indications for a few weeks now. I spent an enormous amount of time working on this issue this summer, to my great disappointment and frustration, because I would have much preferred to continue developing my company rather than fight my own government.
We're told this is what should happen. That's already a much better tone than the one they used on June 8 to tell us that it wasn't a consultation but rather a briefing session, that they were going to proceed as planned, while thanking us very much.
I hope the government and PWGSC will keep their word and continue in this direction. We have no assurances that they will listen to what we have to say. All we're being told right now is that they're ready to continue working with us. We hope they're sincere.
