Question
Emma Granis of an unknown publication asked about the expected release date for the company's ESG report, which was delayed due to uncertainty around Canadian Bill C-59.
Answer
Executive Jeffery Lawson explained that the social and governance components of the report should be released within the next month. However, the environmental section is being held back pending clarity from the Competition Bureau's consultation process on the new legislation, which is expected in the fall.
