Certainly any regulatory requirement in the sanitary or phytosanitary space impacting an import is a non-tariff measure; however, it doesn't constitute a barrier unless the exporting country can't meet it. It's an unjustified barrier if we can't defend its legitimacy in protecting a Canadian interest in terms of human health and safety or the protection of our agricultural environment.
We protect ourselves in that regard through our commitment to being science-based and risk-based. We carry out risk assessments to determine the appropriate level of a measure, and that serves, in our view, to protect.... What we're doing is applying a legitimate restriction in order to achieve a legitimate protective outcome.
