It might be useful if I take the committee over the two processes with respect to this.
As you know, Export Development Canada, EDC, is buying the rights to the refunds from those importers of record that choose to participate in the program. The program was designed on the basis of the U.S. information that refunds could take up to two years, and hence, expedition is required.
EDC, having bought the rights to the refunds from those companies, will pay to the importers of record participating in that program approximately 82% of those refunds within four to eight weeks of those companies fulfilling the necessary documentation. This includes things like liens, to check that there are no liens on companies, and those types of elements. Those payments, both to the importers of record and the balance remaining--12%--to the U.S. interests, will be made within that time period I identified. EDC will be paid by the eventual liquidation of the refunds, and they'll be receiving the cheques for those importers of record as they come in.
You should note, however, that as payments are made throughout the duration, they receive interest from the U.S. side, because they can't keep money without paying interest on it. So the EDC process is that the EDC gives importers of record the money directly up front. They are paid later as the U.S. liquidation process unfolds, and that process unfolding also includes interest, as it's delayed.
With respect to the special charge--
