Yes, if I could.
Mr. Evans, I would like to go back to the performance report of March that we didn't really get to. There's a statement in there that says discriminatory practices and unnecessary barriers--barriers is a key word--to Canadians farmers are mentioned as a key risk to CFIA's capacity to achieve its strategic outcomes.
I'd like you to speak to some of those barriers, but there's something else I want to quote. There's the issue of the total removal of APHIS, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, which gives exemptions from inspection for exported fruits and vegetables grown in Canada. I would take it that, basically, if there's an exemption given from the fruit and vegetable side, could that same exemption be given to the livestock side of it? Is that one of those barriers that you referred to?
Also, there's another statement in the report that mentions that insufficient authorities could impede the effectiveness of CFIA. I'd like to hear what necessary authorities you believe the CFIA is lacking.
