Rick White may want to say more about this, but in the canola sector we feel we do market access assessments ourselves, as an industry. The seed developers bring the product along, and producers have a strong voice in what technology is introduced and commercialized in Canada. We deal with that issue effectively through the private sector, and we're interested in a process, from a regulatory point of view, that is clear and timely and predictable.
It is important that all major markets around the world do these processes in a synchronous way, in a way that maintains the same timelines. If we were able to do that, we would be able to achieve a lot of what the market access policy is about. By approving products in a timely way, we would be sure of not having GM products that are approved in one place and not in another, which complicates the trade between those two places.
We think we do that already. On the regulatory side of the process, we should continue to focus on health and safety and environmental protection and not add new criteria that would delay the process.
