Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank the minister and the other witnesses for being with us today. We appreciate it.
Minister, I would like to talk to you about the positive subject you have been discussing. You know that I believe very much in recognizing environmental actions. I would simply say that we should be investing even more money in that.
I have a more serious issue to address. Last week, we held two meetings to study poultry product imports from Ukraine, after a remission order was rather quickly made. The day after the second meeting, when the committee's report had not yet been written, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency issued import permits.
That bothers me a bit, because it sends the message that the committee's work is of no interest to the Agency. Is that a misinterpretation?
