Thank you.
As we've heard, there's been a significant drop over the last few years in the government's meeting deadlines for handling export permits. A recent Globe and Mail article said that its meeting of deadlines has dropped from 94% in 2017 to less than 72% in 2019.
First of all, what effect does this failure to meet deadlines have on Canadian companies?
Mr. Agnew, could you start on that?
