First of all, I want to thank all of you for appearing before the committee.
We've had a rather difficult journey in having this discussion. The idea is to unveil the issue, unveil the industry, so that a better understanding of the issue by the public could somehow be achieved. I'm glad you're participating in it.
Before we rose in December, a group came before us on the issue and described it as being two solitudes, one pro and one anti-GMO. I felt good leaving that meeting, because a number of people from each side had actually come to kind of an understanding that maybe there is a forum that could be created in which those for and against could come together and actually help us look at the issues, and maybe come up with some regulations that might protect biodiversity and the interests of each of them. That forum existed, I think, in the late nineties, then kind of diminished in the early 2000s, and now they don't meet at all.
I'd like to hear from you, Éric, on that, and I'd like to hear maybe from you, Andrew, or anyone else who would have a comment on the value of re-establishing that forum. Clearly, we're not able in a committee to sit around and come up with the actual regulations that are needed, and come up with solutions.
Can I hear from you, Éric, and then someone else?
