Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Welcome to our witnesses, and thank you for giving your testimony today. It's great to be here on the Island.
There are so many presentations and so much information, it's going to be hard to get some rapid-fire questions in here. However, I'd like to start with Mr. Walker.
You talked about the SR and EDs. I am very familiar with some of the manufacturing businesses in my riding that are having a heck of a hard time accessing the SR and EDs. Have you thought in detail about how that process could be improved? Have you talked with government departments with respect to making a proposal on how you could improve that process in order to turn it around? And what would be the optimum turnaround time for businesses to receive those SR and EDs--other than ASAP?
