Thank you, Madam Chair, and Mr. Masse, on dairy I think you were probably going to go on TRQs.
I'm actually going to go in a little bit different direction. I'm just going to want a little more background information in regard to when the officials down in Washington were aware that this EV credit was coming, and then when the minister's office was made aware of it. One of the complaints I had from one of the senators down there was that we showed up too late, and they had no ability to adjust things because we showed up too late.
Where did we miss the ball here? Did we not insert ourselves at the right time when we were seeing that legislation being written, or did we just ignore it until it became too late and they had no ability to actually modify it? Can you give me some insight on when you were made aware of it and when you made the minister aware of it?
