Thanks, Mr. Arnold.
I've heard this from other witnesses, and certainly from my perspective and from everything I've been hearing from members, we need to be meaningfully consulted on things that have an impact on us. In terms of moving, in 2026, from a paper-based system to an electronic-based system, I think that is definitely worth exploring. We want to make sure that we do that in such a way that it doesn't have unintended negative impacts on somebody's systems or processes that may be built around that. We should absolutely have a meaningful discussion around that.
It's about predictability and transparency in terms of opening and closing dates. If something is having an impact on an opening date—I think, for the most part, Canada has a very strong track record for this, but if there is an impact—it would be good to know what legitimately triggers that and how industry can contribute. The more predictable and timely it is, the better. We'd like to avoid late openings, late closures and that sort of thing to the extent possible.
