We don't have the authority to implement rules to regulate dairy product manufacturing. Those powers belong to the provinces or to the federal government. For example, the federal government regulates when it comes to cheese manufacturing standards. Quebec has provincial regulations that set out certain guidelines so that yogourt can be called yogourt. The idea behind having standards is not to prevent certain things, but to provide a framework and make the standards transparent in the eyes of consumers and assure them that, when they buy a product, if it is called cheese, it's not pudding. When they buy yogourt, it's not frozen dessert. Regulations do not prevent innovations. Regulations bring transparency and clarity for the benefit of the consumer. We, as a group of producers, do not have that authority. That authority belongs to the provinces or to the federal government.
