Actually, Ms. Campbell, I'm quite comfortable with the renewal process.
I would also like to mention to the committee that there are still administrative impediments that are not necessary and that result in additional costs, aside from the delays. The producer in question had to pay for a new permit application, in addition to paying the $200 penalty to restore the status that had been withdrawn.
Currently, would there be a way to accept permit renewals without the LMIA having been obtained, or to accept them if it can be proven that the LMIA was requested? We know that the licence can be issued because it was issued before.
