There was a technical problem. I apologize for that, Mr. Chair.
So let me start again.
I would like to thank all the witnesses for joining us today to answer our questions.
I was saying that I had similar concerns to those expressed by Mr. Arnold, and we have shared interests. I am wondering about the distinctions between the policies and regulations in effect in the Pacific provinces, in the Atlantic provinces and in Quebec. I would like to know the principles on which those distinctions are based.
The witnesses can frame their answers in a number of ways. I do not know who can answer my question, whether it's Ms. McCready, Mr. Burns or Mr. Whorley, but I invite each of them to do so, if possible.
