Thanks very much, Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Dade, for your attendance today. Your policy advice is always thought provoking and stimulating.
I'd like to ask you about the request by British Columbia in the late days of the election campaign that Canada impose a ban on thermal coal through British Columbia ports in a tit-for-tat for the softwood lumber dispute, and whether or not Canada should be responding tit-for-tat should there be other initiatives or impositions by the U.S. administration on Canadian economic interests.
