Thank you, Minister.

I want to change the subject a little bit. I want to talk about neonicotinoids. Grain farmers in Ontario and producers in Ontario have been hard hit because the Province of Ontario has taken steps to restrict the use of them.

This is going to be another quick yes or no. Since the United States has not taken any movement to inhibit them, and Ontario has—PMRA is the regulator—were you consulted on their choice?
