Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
You've examined the macro issues, but if you take this down to the farmer level, to the farmer trying to develop new products or get things onto the market through various ways, the cost of inspection and I guess the diligence of inspection on the smaller operator has become a question for some of the people in my riding. For example, the CFIA threatened a baker that he couldn't label his product dinner “rolls”, he had to call them dinner “buns”.
How does someone out there really know how to deal with the complexity of things that they could be ticketed for? It comes down to someone wanting to even develop local products. We have this big push to buy domestic, to help all these people do things at farmers markets and country markets, and yet there's the cost of lab testing, the labelling in official languages, which is quite normal for our country, identifying percentages, those kinds of things; some do, some don't.
Out there, if we actually enforced the law, would we still be able to deliver the local content that we're aspiring to?
Richard, go ahead.
