There was a lack of general awareness, I think, and you mentioned, Ms. Riddell, that it was almost this year before it was announced. I've been working with a representative from the United States, Congressman Higgins, to bring forward this issue for over a year now, and there seem to still be some concerns.
Mr. Allen, you will know this was raised by the Canadian government on May 5 with the United States trade representative. In fact, on May 25, Congressman Higgins and 13 individuals wrote to Secretary Blinken regarding the matter. It's becoming a trade impediment to us, potentially, with regard to the relationship, and I don't think we want that. The relationships we have, like I said, are so close that we consider our area a binational region, not two countries.
Based on consultation and input from Americans, is the government looking at making changes to address some of the concerns those people have?
