Thank you, colleague.
Madam Chair, with your permission, I would like to ask Mr. Evenett a few questions following his discussion with Ms. Gray, because it is an issue near and dear to me and one that I'm working on quite carefully with the Minister of International Trade.
Mr. Evenett, as you pointed out, there is a schedule online for all Canadians to see as to when our expected deliveries are to arrive. I see that you're nodding in agreement. I think that is an important point to be made, because we do know whether or not a shipment comes in based on that schedule, of course, and the history of these last few months since the export controls were introduced shows us that not a single one of our shipments was refused or delayed for export authorization purposes.
I understand, of course, your concern, but do you agree that we would know if a contractor or manufacturer was not even asking for an export authorization? We have the dates in front of us.
