Mr. Chairman, on the two points on the 13% rule, I will give you a very quick explanation. A product that contains more than 13% non-chicken can come into this country tariff free. If you mix two products together and 86% is chicken and 14% is rice, if they are mixed together, that product comes into this country tariff free.
Our industry—the farmers, the primary processor, and the further processors—are on side and have made a request to have an article 28 launched. This government has decided not to take that action on the 13%.
On the tariff rate quota, our access for imported product tariff free is 7.5%. Over the last number of years we have been hitting our head on the top level. The previous governments have put in a clawback mechanism. Not everyone gets what they want, and it allows the industry to come together and find solutions.
This government has just come out with a decision on April 12 that will allow, I believe, an additional 8.8 million kilograms of chicken into this country above our tariff rate quota level. That will come in tariff free. Those kilograms all come out of our barns. All that grain that is fed...that is no longer done in Canada. All that economic loss will now come from outside of the country.
Those are your two.
