Thank you for your question.
Basically, this is the result of requests from the industry. We work closely with the industry. We apply different criteria using a mathematical scoring system. One of the criteria that plays a major role is when it is a priority for the industry in a particular sector. Another factor that plays an important role is the relative importance of a market for Canada, for the sector. I will use an example from the past. The mandatory country-of-origin labelling policy imposed by the United States has had a severe impact on the beef industry. Mr. Shipley said that the industry had estimated that the impact of this policy on beef products was more than $1 billion a year. Naturally, this became a very high priority.
By applying criteria of this type, we can establish priorities.
