Mr. Chair, I am not here to play politics.

The Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food and the Minister of International Trade Diversification will appear in committee Tuesday. Whether they appear at our committee or at the Standing Committee on International Trade, the important thing is that farmers be able to hear what the ministers have to say.

We don't want to duplicate the work by doing the same study as the Standing Committee on International Trade. That said, we felt that we could add value to our study of this issue by hearing CFIA representatives and industry representatives, including producers.

Thank you very much.
