Thank you, Mr. Chair.
A labelling provision that becomes a mandatory requirement would fall under the auspices of the Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade. Under that agreement, there are provisions that relate to identifying a legitimate objective for the measure and whether the measure is the least restrictive means to achieve that legitimate objective.
What we are talking about here today, of course, is “Product of Canada” labelling. That labelling provision is a voluntary statement that industry may want to make on food labels. The criteria we have around that, of course, would have taken into consideration any of our obligations, but being a voluntary measure, this is not something that would necessarily fall under the auspices of the Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade. There isn't a requirement to label your products “Product of Canada”.
