Thank you very much. It's no problem; I understand there's a lot to talk about, so I do not feel bad that I did not get further questions.
It's been a substantial focus, not only for us but obviously for the Government of Alberta, to reduce red tape. What I keep hearing from a lot of the builders who have been around for years and years is that it used to take two weeks to get a permit and now it's a minimum of three months. In Alberta or in most of Canada, your construction season only lasts about four or five months, so a three-month delay in getting a permit is a killer.
As building codes get more complex and buildings get more complex, as processes get more complex, these things seem to be just adding more weight. We have new policies and codes at the federal level, then the provincial level, then the local level. It's basically just this pancaking of policies over and over that address the same problems and make things more complex.
Our view and our hope is that coming out of this process, we'll be able to get into a bit of a new normal, or we can maybe rethink some of these things and figure out how we can be a little more strategic in the policies we really want to focus on and those that maybe we don't need to worry about as we try to battle through this recovery.
