Thank you, Mr. Chair, it's always a pleasure to join this committee.
I've enjoyed the discussion. I learned some great numbers on economic impact in Ontario. I'm proud to say there are pockets outside of Niagara, including my riding of Durham, where we have the Ocala Winery.
I have two questions and because we're in the shorter round I'll just put them out there. First, Ms. Zimmerman, with respect to the 25% Canadian content, is the industry ready for that when it comes to meeting all the volume demands and the demands in shelf if that requirement were put in place immediately? On the flip side of that, would the industry be open to the converse of that, which is levels? So as long as the consumer has a choice, where it is clear to them that this is 10%, 25%, or 50%. Is that also a solution for the area?
My last question would be more to Derek, and it has to do with faster regulation. As I know from my time working in the consumer products industry, the backlog in natural health products was dealt with by allowing some products to proceed to market while their applications were pending. Is there anything you can share with us about other jurisdictions doing that, or splitting off safety issues so that those would take longer and other issues could get to market faster?
