Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'll start by making a comment on Canada's Food Guide. It may be helpful to the committee, after hearing what we've heard today, to hear from the people who are responsible for putting that together and ensure that there is integrity in the food guide.
Having said that, I have two questions. I'll simply ask the questions and let the answers come as they may. On Bill C-283, Ms. Reynolds, you made a lot of excellent points. However, we still have Bill C-283 being brought forward and there must be a reason why that is occurring--even though I tend to agree with you that it is completely unmanageable, and how would you do it? Nevertheless, we have it, and I think it's fair to say it has a considerable degree of support in the House of Commons. So I'd like to give you an opportunity to address the critics of your position.
In regard to Ms. Gillis' and Ms. Farn's position on liquids, it seemed to me that you were taking opposite points of view on liquids, particularly on flavoured drinks. Is that perception correct? Having heard each other's presentation, I wonder if you could each discuss why your position is correct and the other person's is wrong. A nice little debate would be fun.
That's it.
