In closing, while the food safety objectives of the bill are clear, there are provisions which, if not amended, will result in considerable loss of Canadian jobs and consumer choice. Our members are committed to consultation with officials to address these concerns.
On behalf of I.E.Canada and its member companies, I would like to thank you for the opportunity to be here today on a matter that is vitally important to all Canadians. I would be pleased to respond to any questions you may have.
