Thank you, Chair.
Rather than read this, because it’s rather lengthy—again its intent is to bring more clarity. It's a rather lengthy piece that talks about who would be regulated, who would be identified.
Maybe I should read it, because it's brand new.
2.1 The purpose of this Act is to ensure safe and high-quality food commodities by any means, including
(a) by promoting and providing for the safety and security of the public;
(b) by recognizing the responsibility of persons regulated under this Act for the safety and security of their products; and
(c) by encouraging the co-operation and participation of persons regulated under this Act and other interested persons in the development and implementation of modern, flexible and efficient policies, programs and laws for the continuing enhancement of the safety and security of food production.
We believe it brings more clarity to the bill, laying that out in a separate piece as 2.1, as you have indicated, Chair. We believe it will enhance the act and make it a better process.
I await comment from the other side.
