Agriculture committee Our concern centres more on the fact that imported products can be labelled as products of Canada. In our view, the consumer is not interested in knowing exactly what country a product comes from, but in being able to distinguish between a product of Canada and an imported product.

Agriculture committee Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you, committee members, for the opportunity to come before you and talk about “Product of Canada” labelling. I am representing the Chicken Farmers of Canada, which is the national organization that represents Canada's 2,800 chicken farmers. As our board of directors and organization is made up of farmers, processors, further processors, and restaurateurs, the views around our table take into account the major stakeholders in the chicken industry.

Agriculture committee In chapter 16 of the harmonized tariff system, you have to have 20% meat content to be in that chapter. All these 13% rules are an exception for chapter 16 products. So if you have less than 20% meat, you just become a food preparation in another area. We're not talking about controlling soups that might have some chicken in them or something like that.
