Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank you for coming today. I really appreciate your spending some time with the committee to inform us and educate us. This is actually our first meeting on GMOs. I share your views in terms of proper education. I think there is a lack of scientific and evidence-based education in Canada. The minority is loud, but we have to ensure that we give the right information. I know that Canada recently fully restored beef exports to Mexico, and we've reopened exports to Taiwan, and I know we've recently expanded beef access for China.
You talked about competitiveness and genetically modified feed. How important is that? Market access is important, but at the same time you have to remain competitive. Can you talk a bit about genetically modified feed and how that plays into your competitiveness?
