There's no doubt that it's an important part for us to have a strong policy on low-level presence put in place in these countries. There's no doubt about it. But when we look at the grains we export, the wheats, the barleys, and the oats are not genetically modified. We're talking about canola and soybeans.
These are already products that we export now into Europe. So yes, there can be non-tariff trade barriers, there's no doubt about it, but we cannot just hide behind that fact.

—but I really appreciate your questioning.
I want to thank all of our witnesses for coming in.
It's a short run from Vancouver, but thank you, Ms. Kunin, for being here.
Mr. Groeneweg and Ms. Krayden, thank you very much for being part of our study.
I'm going to ask the indulgence of the committee to go in camera for a few minutes to finish up on some discussions we had the other day. We just need to finalize that.
That means we'll ask everyone to vacate the room, other than those who know they should be here.
Thank you very much.
[Proceedings continue in camera]
