Thank you, Chair.
We heard today testimony today at the agriculture committee from both Viterra and Richardson. Richardson, in particular, made note of its very long trading history with China and the relationship it's cultivated over a hundred years. Both companies stressed the fact that with canola in particular, there is no one case of phytosanitary concerns with it at all. I know that you have the utmost confidence in our methodologies and the way we test for pests in our containers that are destined for export. I know that you attach certificates, so that the importing party can see that it was verified before it left our ports. During all this time, since we started trading canola with China back in 1994, they have not found a problem to date. There have been a few concerns in other years, but by and large it's been pretty good. Other countries have faith in our system and they haven't found any problems.
Going to the fact that you have a team that's ready, willing and able to go at a moment's notice, I understand we're waiting for visas and for the official invitation to come. Is that where we're at right now? How long, generally, does this kind of thing take? At what point do we kind of start to worry that there's an unreasonable delay?
