There's a lot in your question. To help clarify this, first of all, one of the things that has helped the food inspection agency, which, as I've indicated, is responsible both for importations and for exportations, is that at the same time there is the creation of the new international affairs branch. I report both to the president of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and to the deputy minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. It has helped by bringing together the resources of both the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. We're better placed to understand what is needed both for our exports and for the imports.
I think you made a very good point, which is that in the trading world we live in, when someone wants to export, someone wants to import. It's not quid pro quo, not at all, but at the same time, as I said in my first question, they have to respect the standards in Canada when they're based on the risks. The CFIA is able to look at the importations and the exportations independently, but they're not done in isolation. To say they're done in isolation would sort of.... That's one of the reasons we've created my new branch.
When you look at this and at the complexity of the world, I think you've made some good points relative to the corporate structures of the world and free trade agreements. The world is becoming much more complex. By bringing in the resources of a group from Agriculture Canada, who actually are trade analysts who are looking at it—my colleague is the chief ag negotiator as well as assistant deputy minister—together with the CFIA, it allows us to balance some of the issues, or the way you've identified them. I'm quite confident that we're able to do both. We are able to maximize opportunities for our exports, but also to understand the complexity of people wanting to export.
