Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank the witnesses for being here today. Their input is very valuable for our study.
It was noted earlier that Canadian companies seeking to recover unpaid bills must post a bond equal to twice the value of the claim in order to access the protection provisions under the PACA. What is the reason for this? That is a lot of money for fruit and vegetable exporters.
Can you please give us an explanation for this?
