Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First I'd like to say that we do work very closely with industry and with consumers when it comes to discussion on information that does appear on food labels. Certainly the dairy sector has been in close contact with us as it relates to the use of dairy terms and, more generally, the use of highlighted ingredients. CFIA did undertake an extensive consultation on highlighted ingredients, which did include dairy terms, and of course they did receive submissions from the dairy sector more specifically to dairy terms.
What the CFIA seeks to do is create a level playing field so that when we look at an issue that may be raised by one sector, such as the dairy sector for dairy terms, we consider that in light of other commodities and consumer expectations.
