Thank you for that.
I'd like to come to the running rules, because you mentioned in your presentation from the Federated Co-operatives that “The proposed monthly system is unworkable and retroactive penalties deny producers rational business choices. Retroactive penalties for regional overshipment will be applied to all shippers under the surge mechanism.” And you asked the question, “Why should actions of competitors directly impact our operations?”
I'd like to ask each one of you, starting with Mr. Van Bergeyk, how you could put in place these running rules. Do you have an implementation strategy? These are monthly, retroactive, after the fact, as we know. I've certainly received from softwood producers right across the country concerns about the complete lack of commercial viability of these arrangements, and we have two supporters here.
So what arrangements would you put into place to cope with these running rules that the industry has virtually unanimously said are commercially non-viable?
We'll start with Mr. Van Bergeyk.
