The TPP is a trade agreement and deals, therefore, with market access. It includes a number of rules that include sanitary and phytosanitary measures. These rules are there to ensure that countries follow science, evidence-based policies and practices when it comes to taking the measures that they deem necessary to ensure food, animal, and plant safety.
In that context, the TPP would not impose any obligations on Canada to diverge from its current set of policies that are based on science and evidence, but would ensure the highest level of food safety, or animal and plant health in place. The TPP doesn't affect that standard. It requires us to follow science, evidence-based policies, which is, in any event, how our regulatory system works.
