Thank you very much.
I certainly wouldn't characterize the work as done. In fact, within the work that Canada does in Codex Alimentarius, we participate in a broad range of committees in Codex Alimentarius that look at issues from food safety and nutrition to issues of maximum residue limits for chemical contaminants and additives.
We recognize that the food industry is not static. The issues facing the food industry aren't static. Therefore the issue of standardization continues to be important. We recognize in Canada that we continually run into issues when different countries' standards aren't aligned.
Right now part of the challenge that the pork sector faces is the issue that China takes a different view around a veterinary drug that Health Canada has authorized in Canada, has established the maximum residue limit for, and the fact that pork exports to China are impacted by this is an issue of concern to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. So we engage China around that discussion and we have been working in Codex Alimentarius to establish an international maximum residue limit that is, in our view, an important example of the value of standardization.
So by no means would I characterize the work as being complete. However, the work that has been done has yielded real value in terms of allowing, through standardization, that predictability on the part of Canadian exporters that products produced that meet Canadian standards will be acceptable in other countries in terms of our imports. We will continue to work in that regard, because we see it as important.
