Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to our witnesses for being here.

I have a short question on fees, and then I'll move to something else.

I accept that the fees aren't covering your costs, and so on, but I will not involve myself in that debate.

Is there a distance calculation in the application of a fee? If there is an inspection 100 kilometres away versus 10 kilometres away from where your officials leave, is there a different fee for the distance, the location?

I'm thinking of one of my constituents, Max Burt, who raised that important issue with me. I may have misunderstood.
