I guess I'm just thinking about this. When I was in that situation, I would want all the data whether it's Canadian data or data from another country that maybe has in the expertise in that scenario with that crop type. To say that we're going to discount that expertise and just go with Canadian data, well, what has happened in the past in those scenarios is that it takes five or six years to actually acquire that Canadian data before you even get to a position that you already were in using foreign data. So to say that we must only use Canadian data, I think, is not really the way to go or in the best interests of the farmers overall. In fact, we heard that quite often in the PMRA scenarios, when we looked at different types of products that are used in the States that we want access to in Canada. They want to use U.S. data, because that data basically reflects on our standards here.
I think it comes back to what I said. If I'm sitting there making a decision, I want to have data from all sources available to me. I don't want to be restricted to data that I may not have, and because of that, I don't want to have to go through a timely process, an expensive process, to find out information that I could have had just by recognizing the data coming from another UPOV country.
This just doesn't make sense to me at all.
