Good morning once again, gentlemen.
At today's meeting we're continuing the review of Bill C-24, Softwood Lumber Products Export Charge Act , with the officials from the department.
We have with us again today, from the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, Paul Robertson, director general, North America trade policy; Brice MacGregor, senior trade policy analyst, softwood lumber; Dennis Seebach, director, administration and technology services; and John Clifford, counsel, trade law bureau.
From the Canada Revenue Agency, we have two people today: Ron Hagmann, manager, softwood lumber; and Cindy Negus, manager, legislative policy directorate.
I thank you all very much for coming here once again.
We will start directly with questions. Of course, as usual, at least one or some of you will be here when we actually go through clause-by-clause next Thursday, and we're looking forward to having you here again.
I do appreciate your taking the time. I know you have a lot to do with your time. Some members of the committee did feel that we wanted you back, so we appreciate your coming.
We'll go directly to questioning.
Mr. Temelkovski. Go ahead, Lui.
