Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm going to split my time with Mr. Van Kesteren so that we can get some other questions in.
Mr. Keon, I note you've asserted rather strongly that there's been no consultation on this latest bulletin that was posted in the Gazette. But in fact, the process that is going forward here is really just a reaffirmation of existing policy as it relates to the pre-2006 regime that the government had. As a matter of fact, I note a copy of a letter in which the Quebec Minister of Economic Development indicates, in the translation, his support for this government's latest efforts in guaranteeing the integral respect for the modifications industry ministers had supported as late as October 2006.
There seems to be a disconnect here. You're saying there's really no consultation, but in fact this is a process that was already in place. Here you have a provincial minister who is agreeing and supporting the government's position in keeping this intact. How would you speak to that disconnect?
