Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
As you can see, clause 5 deals with the time of export. In terms of quotas, we all know that they are calculated on a monthly basis. When the softwood product is loaded onto a truck, it automatically leaves to be exported. In that case, the date corresponds. However, when the product is shipped by rail, it may be loaded on to a railcar that stays in the yard for quite some time. In that case, the date may be carried forward several days and end up in the following month. Because of the time that can elapse before the product is actually exported, a significant imbalance could affect the way quotas are managed.
As a result, we would like the export date to be the date when the product is loaded onto the railcar, and not the date the car is assembled to form part of a train.
