Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to our witnesses for their expertise and for helping us in the study of this important area.

I'd like to start with the Canadian Trucking Alliance.

Sir, you mentioned, in your initial testimony, the discussion around the federal trucking registry for the carbon tax.

I'm very concerned because, obviously, your industry spans east-west, but in my area, if I'm speaking to local truckers, a lot of their business involves north-south trucking, so there are going to be a lot of concerns around competitiveness.

Can you please, maybe, just tell us a little bit more about the federal registry for the carbon tax and what some of the concerns are around double taxation and competitiveness?
