Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

Thanks to the witnesses. It's good to see you again.

I want to go back to country of origin labelling. I think it started somewhere around 2009 and was repealed in 2015. That's almost six years. My math may be wrong, but it was a long time. It came about because of the U.S. farm bill, as you mentioned. Where was the scientific justification for that?
