We have not taken a position on the issue, because some of our members favour a voluntary method, whereas others are more in favour of something formal.
I agree with Mr. Dungate that what is most important is ensuring that "Product of Canada" means something very clear. At present, that is not the case. What we are urging the committee to do is to clarify that. At present, cooperatives that are producing products of Canada have no guarantees that they will be able to market their products to consumers who know that it is a product that is entirely made in Canada, because their products are competing with other products labelled not only with their origin, but also with labels such as "Canada No. 1", etc.
I think that is the first thing that needs to be clarified. The other issues are also important. I also think that it depends on the various industries. This important issue also affects products such as dairy products, beef products, and so on, as to whether they are what they claim to be.
