Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, gentlemen, for coming out tonight to enjoy this nice evening with us. It's important that we hear your testimony.
I just want to follow up a little bit. It appears that the NDP wants to continue to have the inward inspections, but as you so eloquently suggested, Mr. Bacon, that is not necessary. The outward quality is where it really is necessary. I fully support that. We need to make sure that whatever we sell abroad has that Canadian brand, has that quality, and we know for sure that whoever is buying it knows they're getting the best grade that they've approached us for and have bought.
I want to just step back a little bit in terms of the consultation period. I think you were here when Mr. Hermanson talked about the consultation process on the fees starting November 1. I'm just wondering whether you all have had an opportunity to get your feedback into the CGC on that issue. And where do you stand on that right now?
