I want to thank the member for the question.
I was not aware of that request, but we could indeed look further into the issue and follow up, if the committee so wishes.
The U.S. Farm Bill is a piece of legislation that has a very broad scope and contains many elements. That is why we constantly have to look at many of the elements contained in the Farm Bill to ensure not only that they do not hinder the economic interests of the Canadian agriculture and agri-food sector, but also that they comply with the rules, as you pointed out.
I can't tell you right now whether the support for the U.S. maple syrup industry is causing compliance issues with NAFTA rules or World Trade Organization rules. That's something we can look into.
Generally speaking, since maple products are a Canadian symbol, we support that sector in various ways, whether we are talking about developing international markets, developing innovative farm practices or other initiatives. We are trying to do as much as we can to help the sector improve.
Let's hope that the Americans are also complying with international rules.
