We have requested a pause and a regroup. I know that the department is very focused on achieving a goal and trying to look at what solutions would be available. The discussion isn't about what the P2 notice looks like; it's about whether the P2 policy model is the right model. We don't think it is. We don't think it's functional within a complex food industry. It's going to create too many issues. We provided five recommendations to the department, which they could use to effectively move forward.
