Mr. O'Shaughnessy, you referred to standards. We're looking to standardize the standards of global back-and-forth, so I'm going ask you to answer the previous question as well. Can you talk about whether there is a certain standard, or are they just spelled out in the trade agreements?

I'm familiar with Codex in other sectors. Is that the best way to get at some standards that are beyond the purview of CFIA—through a third party that lays them out in a more enforceable way?
