Good morning.
My name is Yannick Mondy. I'm the director for tariff and trade policy of the Department of Finance. I'll be taking this question. Thank you for it.
I will answer with respect to the end part of the question as to when the current OIC is set to expire. It is set under the Customs Tariff and would normally expire 180 days after its coming into effect, which is October 8. Based on the current parliamentary schedule, that date would not be a sitting day. It needs to be on a sitting day, otherwise it gets extended by another 15 sitting days. Right now, based on the current parliamentary committee schedule, that puts us at the beginning of May. I believe it is May 5 or May 8. I can provide that in writing if necessary.
That is why this was drafted for division 5 to have a retroactive effect to the end of this particular date.
I don't know if I fully answered the member's question.
