Thank you, Mr. Champoux.
I'll start by underscoring what I mentioned in my opening remarks, that, for the most part, what I'm hearing from members is that the processes are working well. My comments are meant to be taken in the spirit of continuous improvement.
What I am hearing, for the most part, when I speak with members, is that most of the challenges with regard to opening and closing dates come from our members on the Pacific coast, on the west coast, so I'll invite FCC member Grant Dovey to comment on his experience in a second. That's where most of the challenges are, but what I'm hearing is that the more transparent and clear the processes are, the better, and it is better when the government actually adheres to them.
I'll ask Mr. Dovey to comment on his experience.
