Thank you, Chair.
The first question is for Mr. Tierney.
Obviously, the round tables are important and a good tool with the food processing industry. One of the parts on the second page, second paragraph says “Stakeholders cite problems with unclear and inconsistent regulatory requirements; slow and non-transparent decision-making....”
It goes on and on.
Probably everyone in the industry understands that's a problem. Pretty well every farmer I've ever spoken with would understand that's a problem. I'm sure a majority of the people in your department understand that's a problem. I'm just trying to understand.
The round table is there. The issue's already known. Obviously, they're tackling this in the meantime. So how do the mechanics of this all work, because there are issues that need to be dealt with here?
