Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Sobkowich, I would like to clarify the question you raised regarding extending the interswitching distance to 500 kilometres. You say that this would seldom be used, that it would be used by about 8% of producers.
How could we formulate it so that it would be more readily acceptable to the government? The interswitching distance would not necessarily be extended everywhere. Could that be done? The current distance, 160 kilometres, could be made permanent, and a determination could be made as to the regions where it should be extended to 500 kilometres.
That way, it would be more likely that the government would agree to this proposal. What do you think?
