Thank you.
Thank you for your testimony, Messrs. Nault and Darier.
In your brief, you talk about a point that we from the Bloc Québécois also think is important: the Cartagena Protocol on Biosecurity. I am having a hard time understanding why Canada is not among the 160 countries that have signed this protocol.
For the benefit of those who will read the testimonies and for the benefit of my committee colleagues, I would like you to explain why it is important to sign this protocol, what that would imply and why most world countries have signed, but not Canada. Have the United States or some European countries signed this protocol? Why do you think Canada is still refusing, even today, to sign the Cartagena Protocol on Biosecurity?
I would like you to summarize this issue.
