In talking to many researchers, public and private, I think the biggest challenge is really twofold: you have to look at Canadian regulations, and you also have to look at international regulations.
Canada actually has been doing a very good job, but I think there are efficiencies that could be achieved within the Canadian regulatory system. Currently we're working to delineate some of those efficiencies that could be brought together. It's about looking at the reviews and making sure that the departments who are looking at the reviews don't have overlaps, so that if one department is looking at one area, then the results and information from that area are shared across all of the departments.
So there are just basic efficiencies that could be worked on within the government, especially as we know, as Lorne has stated, there are going to be more products coming forward into the Canadian regulatory system. So now is the time to bring in those efficiencies.
Then as we look on the international side, the discussion today has very much been on low-level presence, and we really see that as key. These are products that have received 100% safety approval in at least one or more countries around the world—and that's important to remember. So we can eat them, they're safe at 100%. So when we're talking of a low-level presence, we're talking of one seed in 10,000. There have to be policies where we can manage those levels and not impede international trade.
So I think those are two key areas the government could work on to bring efficiencies.
