Good day and thank you to all of the witnesses for joining us today.
The committee is in the process of reviewing labelling regulations. I would like all of the witnesses to answer a question for me. Should new regulatory standards for product labelling be mandatory or voluntary?
We agree that the “Product of Canada” designation should be reserved for products grown and produced in Canada. Mr. Doering, you spoke at length about increasing the percentage in the case of the 51% rule. Currently, the 51% does not apply to the content, but to the cost. You recommend the status quo in so far as the cost percentage is concerned, but what about the percentage of content?
