Immediately following the proposed decision by Health Canada, AAFC created a multi-stakeholder forum, and it includes participants that are most impacted by this proposed decision. Those include grower groups, academics, research scientists, industry associations, and federal and provincial governments. We've had two face-to-face meetings, one in mid-December and one in mid-February. The real intent is to bring people together, share information, and figure out possible solutions so that we can inform the government's decision-making process.
