It's an interesting question, and it's not one that's been brought to my attention and concern. From the coalition's perspective, no. Clearly our view would be, as we stated in our presentation today, that Canadians, no matter where they are, are entitled to have food that's produced at the same safe standard. In circumstances where it's happening clandestinely, and I take it illegally, they don't usually produce safe food, so we would be concerned from that perspective. But it's not an issue we've been seized with.
We are aware that there are increasing concerns globally about counterfeit food moving in international trade. These are food products that are not genuine in the can or in the package, although the label says that they have been produced by...etc. I don't believe it's yet a serious problem in Canada, but it's something I know the global food industry is very concerned about. It happens at both ends—in the international field as well as potentially at the local level.
