Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank the witnesses for being here today.
Typically, if a business is creating something, they can enforce a lien through a lawyer. My brother has a construction business. If it doesn't pay, he puts a lien on the house. In the produce business it's a bit harder because the goods are perishable. Essentially, you can't put a lien on something that's perishable unless the lien doesn't last very long.
What other tools could the industry use—and it is a bit unique—with regard to recovering payment?
