Thank you very much, Chair.
Mr. Casey, I'll start with you.
In the springtime, our committee did a great cross-country trip visiting various locations. We often heard the theme that companies appreciated what the CFIA did. Our regulatory structure was sound because there was this theme of brand Canada, the maple leaf internationally. When people look at Canadian agricultural products, they understand that we have a science-based regulatory system. It's produced by high-quality farmers and our attention to detail is pretty good. However, they would sometimes grumble that it's a bit onerous.
In your mind, how do we strike that balance and what more could the federal government be doing to help Canadian companies understand the export market? Do we need to have more CFIA staff in our embassies to understand the international situations? Do you have any comments on that?
