Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank you gentlemen for being here today.
I also just want to note that there are western Canadian beef farmers here in the audience today. We're always glad to see western Canadians making the trip down here. It sometimes gets lonely around the table being the only one from western Canada.
I want to ask the Produce Marketing Commission something.
We hear more and more about international retailers that are basically applying phytosanitary standards to both producers and to marketers, or whatever. I'm just wondering whether you see that as a non-tariff trade barrier. How is your industry beginning to deal with that issue?
