Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Hello, Minister. Thank you for being with us this afternoon.
You are certainly aware that the committee discussed imports of Ukrainian poultry products last week. My colleague mentioned it earlier. Why did you decide to issue an import permit?
Earlier, you told my colleague Mr. Barlow that in another sector where the issue was genetics, you wanted to take more time. In the case of Ukrainian chicken, all of the witnesses who appeared last week expressed a great deal of concern. Why was more time not taken to properly assess the scope of this entire question? Why did you act faster than in the case raised by my colleague?
