I'll start with the stakeholders and CBSA's responsiveness to stakeholders.
In the summer of 2023, we were working towards an October 2023 implementation. Stakeholders came to us and said they didn't want to risk this during the busy fall retail season and we needed to push the date. At the request of stakeholders, we changed the date from the fall of 2023 to May 13. We're now hearing the same representation as you are from the same stakeholders.
Going back to my earlier testimony, if stakeholders need a period of weeks—and we've heard them—to test their systems and get their systems up to speed, we're actively working on what the parameters of that additional extension would be. We're hearing stakeholders and want to work with them so they can comply voluntarily. If additional time will work, we want to do that.
The representation has suggested that those who are ready to go with CARM go with CARM. I think that has a lot of merit. We definitely want the businesses that are ready and want to move to work with it. Indirectly, if that's a smaller number, that's not bad either, and a smaller number of businesses will go onto this system first.
We're very alive to this. We had consultations as recently as last Friday with stakeholders, and we're working on it actively.
