Chair, I will share my time with Mr. O'Toole.
I'd like to compliment the panel on doing a great job here today.
Mr. Earle, your fears about being able to speak to this group are unfounded. You did a great job and we look forward to hearing more from you.
First, your opening address was interesting in that you mentioned that you did have an opportunity to speak with the minister and MP Scott Reid, so you've had some opportunities on behalf of your organization to have some input. Can you directly see some fruits of that conversation or the advantage to having been there?
