International Trade committee I think they will welcome having these products, which for the moment are extremely expensive to buy here in the Canadian market.

International Trade committee You can see the prices of some very good cheese. It's incredible. I don't understand why Canadian consumers do not protest more. They are very well educated.

International Trade committee It means that if CETA is already in place, and Canadian enterprises profit from it, they are already in the market itself. It will be more difficult for America to also get to that place.

International Trade committee Is that opportunities for Canadians in the European market?

H.E. Marie-Anne Coninsx
