Good morning, Mr. Lehoux, and thank you for your question.

I'd answer that by saying it would be possible to apply that reciprocity if the Canadian Food Inspection Agency were better resourced to inspect food imports. The agency should inspect just as many food imports as it does food exports. Then, I think it would be possible to implement a reciprocity of standards approach.
