Mr. Chair, thank you.
Witnesses, thank you for being here today.
We're glad we had the opportunity, as a committee that has worked by consensus in the past, to have a chance to review some of the work that was done last year. All of you here played a very important role in developing what I thought was going to be a template for how this minority Parliament should work, and I like to believe that the recommendations we made were a very strong basis for that.
All of you have touched on the recommendations that were made, but not many of you have actually made statements as to whether or not you believe there is some urgency to the rest of the recommendations taking place, save and except for what Mr. Lazar has just pointed out.
There were 22 recommendations in all. To my knowledge, only one has actually been implemented. I'm wondering if, politely, your organizations.... I suppose emphasizing the one recommendation that was implemented might begin a process, at some stage, of encouraging and urging the government to implement the other 21. It seems to us to be a little pedantic to have you come before the committee again to ask for very much the same things you were asking for before. We recognize that you, as a group, all of you here, have passed wonderful comments on the one recommendation, but it's clear to me that the other 21 are missing.
To that question, Mr. Myers, your industry has spent a considerable amount of time trying to respond, not so much in terms of productivity and things you've outlined.... Can you explain to us a little bit how your industry is managing--you are representatives of industries that you certainly care for--in terms of financial hedging, in terms of anticipating the dollar?
