The problem has in fact worsened since the crisis began. In some cases, it can take three, four, five or six months to obtain a permit. It's already not easy given the situation. As I said earlier, we export 80% of what we produce. We're operating at 50%, and we're still exporting our products around the world, but things unfortunately aren't moving fast enough at the Department of International Trade. We've approached the government several times, and we've been told that mechanisms are being put in place to expedite the process, but things aren't moving fast enough, and we're missing opportunities.
We've consulted the Aerospace Industries Association of Canada, and it has also noticed the same problem, which is nationwide. The government needs to be more responsive so it can issue those permits and facilitate the process for Canadian businesses that want to export.
