When organic first got regulated, it was under the organic products regulation under the agriculture act. When we got merged with the SFCR, the safe food for Canadians regulations, it all became around food safety. Many people said that they just didn't know what to do with organic, so they put us in there as part 13.
In other jurisdictions, they've actually created an act that's a stand-alone act that can play on not just the enforcement aspect. It should be around market development. That is how the United States has positioned organic. It's a market development opportunity. It's not only because consumers want it. It's also an opportunity to develop small to medium-sized producers. It allows for there to be crosscutting. Right now we kind of get in a silo where there is no policy directive at Agriculture Canada for organic, because it's really just about the enforcement side of things.
We run into silos, I would say, when it comes to working with Environment Canada, Health Canada and Global Affairs when it comes to organic, because there are no real policy directives. This is where we're looking at some of our trade partners. I will tell you that every single one of our trade partners has a stand-alone act.
