Thank you.
I want to pick up on something my colleague, Mr. Lemieux, mentioned earlier. It had to do with giving our producers greater access to the European market, in particular. The European Union is known to have many more restrictions on GMOs, the use of antibiotics and growth hormones, and so forth. In Canada, our standards are a bit different.
If our producers are to truly benefit from greater access to markets like the EU's, they will have to find new ways of producing just as much and getting the same results they do now using methods that aren't necessarily compatible with the European market.
Has the private sector brought that to your attention as a priority? I am curious as to how innovation and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's programs could help our producers in this situation. Could you please elaborate on that?
