Thank you, Chair.

I would like to thank the witnesses for their insight and expertise on this important issue. I am happy that, as a committee, we are looking at this promptly, before we break for summer.

I was just wondering if you could clarify this, Mr. Kochhar. PED is not reportable immediately, and it is not a notifiable disease in Canada under CFIA. Is that because it is not a disease that affects human health?
