Thank you, Mr. Chair.

For the approval of the GM salmon, it's the same if you were to approve genetically modified animals as if you were to approve a seed or a fruit. It's the same kind of process. It doesn't change just because it is an animal or a mammal.

The Arctic apple has been approved in Canada. Can you explain where that is? Can we go to the grocery store and buy it right now? Can you just update us on where we are with the fruit side of genetically modified foods?
