Right. The issue is that the Ontario Drainage Act was passed in Ontario and not at the federal level. For decades now, CN and CP have not been Crown corporations of the Government of Canada. I understand there are federal regulations that they must follow, but at the same time, we expect our rail lines to follow provincial regulations wherever they may cross. I think this is an issue where I hear where the stakeholders are at, but at the same time, if provinces want to enforce their own act, then they have the power to do so. I hope they do it. I fully support our farmers and our municipalities who are facing those particular issues.
Mr. Chair, over the last few days, I've noticed that on Twitter there's a campaign of disinformation on a food additive. I would like to direct my questions to CFIA in terms of how we approve food additives in Canada. It's been raised that there are those who are advocating to provide public trust into our system, while at the same time there are certain professors who are providing mistrust in the system in terms of not providing real data.
When a private sector company asks CFIA for a food additive to be available in Canada, what is the particular process? Will CFIA treat this as a food additive or perhaps a drug? What's the balance there in terms of ensuring not only public safety but also animal safety and human health, at the end of the day?
