Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'm going to start with the Canadian Cattle Association. You mentioned your concerns of a CBAM being a non-tariff trade barrier. I share your concerns in that we have already seen the impact of these non-tariff trade barriers, like hormones and carcass washing, and certainly we see the impact that has had on Canadian beef and pork exports into the EU.
My colleagues want to say this will be a benefit to Canadian agriculture because our benchmarks are so much better than in the EU, which is true. However, the EU is still finding a number of ways to block our products from getting into the EU.
I look at those issues and, now, the new deforestation policy that the EU is trying to implement. From your perspective, do you see this as yet another non-tariff trade barrier that the EU is putting on not just Canada but probably other jurisdictions?
