Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank the witnesses as well.
I'll be sharing my time with Mr. Poissant.
My first question is for Mr. McLinton, who went to the same university I did. We are both graduates of Concordia University.
Mr. McLinton, welcome to the committee and thank you for your presentation.
The federal government has developed various food-related initiatives, including the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations and the healthy eating strategy put out by Health Canada. Do you think additional measures are needed to meet consumer expectations regarding food safety and sustainability, as well as nutrition quality, in order to improve public trust?
It's often said that not all canned foods have a best-before date indicated and that a standardized approach to quantity is lacking. Sometimes, it's 100 grams, and other times, it's 120 grams, so consumers have to calculate the nutritional value themselves.
Can you answer that question?
