Thank you all for coming here this afternoon and discussing this important part of the budget implementation.
Ms. Fuhrer, I'm curious that it's not discussed in your circles, the point that Mr. Warawa was making in regard to the United States and why they are regulated and have to go through the declaration. I'm certainly not going to lecture you. You have much more knowledge in international law than I do, but it is a fact that the way their constitution is set up, between the states.... You know, we talk about problems we have with trade amongst ours, and well, apparently they have this little issue as well. True to what Mr. Warawa was saying, they find this cumbersome as well.
Now I understand your concerns, and I think as a lawyer I perfectly understand that you want to protect your client, but do you see the need for changes that are being made as an overall playing-out into the new international trade? The horse has left the barn; this is the way the world is going. Can you maybe have some sympathy with the government for moving along with international regulations?
