So I understand that the funds are depleted, the needs haven't been met and more money is needed.
I'm going to move on and talk to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency representatives.
At a convention of the Union des producteurs agricoles, or UPA, in 2019, a cheese producer spoke. She said she herself found samples of 23 foreign cheeses that did not pass 200 inspection points. Quebec's minister of agriculture, fisheries and food, Mr. Lamontagne, who was on hand, responded by saying he wants to be a leader in standards reciprocity.
At present, it seems that we are having difficulty establishing reciprocity of standards. If we want our processors to be dynamic and present everywhere, there needs to be a level playing field for products coming into Canada from abroad.
Do you have an action plan to increase resources for this purpose? How do you see this problem?
