Thanks, Dr. Saindon.
I guess my push here.... I realize it's in health. I know about the studies that were done at the feedlot in Lethbridge and in Nanton and also in my neck of the woods.
Why are Ag Canada and your studies not pushing back on the fact that there should be some harmonization here when some of these new innovations and technologies come out, which are proven and being used by some countries that we trade with? I would encourage you to push hard on Health Canada to get this product approved as quickly as possible, knowing that you have done the studies in your department that show how effective it is.
I want to quickly change subjects here. You mentioned emissions reductions and carbon sequestration. I'd like to know what role, if any, your department had in the announcement at COP26 for the 30% reduction in fertilizer emissions. You talked about the innovation and technology that's happened, like 4R nutrient stewardship, for example. You talked about zero till. We are probably up to 70% more efficient in fertilizer use than any other country in the world.
What role did your department play in that announcement at COP26, if any?
