I sugegst (may or may not help) that you follow up with a letter of your own to those whom the Minister copied.

I say this because a letter (different topic) I sent to my MP was forwarded to the Minister of Finance. 4 months later, not having heard from the Minister of Finance, I went to my MP's office in Toronto to ask what progress there might be. The young lady looked at me like I must be from Mars.
She explained to me that once a letter os forwarded that ends the process for my MP. It is up to me to follow up.

Just FYI, and good luck with this as always.

One should know that this support is focusing on droping the international tax imposed on Level Extreme to tax its Universal Thread subscribers, which is totally unacceptable.
