We are not mediators. If a horticultural association, for example, has systemic issues they want to address that relate to the code, we welcome them to bring those issues to us. We will try to have conversations with retailers or others based on those issues. We do not bring parties together and mediate between them.
As part of the principles of the code, those in the industry are supposed to try to work things out among themselves. If those discussions aren't successful and there are code-related issues that our office can have our own conversations on and try to push in our own way using the tools we have, that's how the office operates. We are not a third party mediator.
