Mr. Chairman, the agency has a lot of expertise in a great variety of areas. We have veterinarians, chemists, biologists, and lawyers. Unfortunately we don't have too many philosophers, because some of these questions are philosophical questions.
With regards to that type of question, the agency's mandate is a little restricted in terms of what the government has asked us to do. It concerns mainly the technical aspects related to implementation of these other government policies. So regarding the issue of buying Canadian product, the agency would be reflecting in its implementation plan some of the philosophical questions that have been translated into regulations and acts, with regards to labelling, as an example. We don't think it's within the agency's purview to put these types of issues on the table.
