I'm happy to hear you say that. If growers in other countries had to follow the same standards as growers in Quebec and Canada, grocery stores probably wouldn't sell imported produce for the same prices they do now.

My understanding is that the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, or CFIA, just doesn't have enough inspectors to control what comes in at the border.
