Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I think I'll save my last spot for Ms. Loftsgard.
In your opening statement, I appreciated how you were talking about the need for Canada to get serious about having its own stand-alone organic act. I know that's something that your organization has been working very hard on. I also appreciate how you talked about some of the advantages. Don't get me wrong. There are challenges for organic farmers, but when it comes to some of the inputs, I know that organic farmers are really trying to lead the way on how they reduce their inputs. I think it's an example that is shared amongst the wider agricultural community.
The question I really want to get down to is this: For some countries in the European Union that have taken a national strategy with respect to organics seriously and are really committed to it, when you put that in the context of where we are at in Canada—and we know that the market and the demand for organics is growing—what kind of a competitive disadvantage does that leave our organic farmers vis-à-vis those European countries that are taking this very seriously?
