Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here.
I'll begin with Mr. Allsop.
First, I will say thank you to Empire for leading, from the retail sector, in pushing for the code initially, or agreeing to the push for the code—I'm not sure what the proper phraseology is there—and again, for your leadership now.
Since July of last year, when there was agreement from all retailers to sign on to the principles, and now, in your annual process of renegotiating for the upcoming season and for the upcoming year, have you changed any practices? You mentioned in your opening testimony that you've reviewed some of the terms and you've clarified them, but from an overall perspective, have you changed your practices in dealing with your vendors?
