Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Minister, I'd like to thank you and the other witnesses for being with us today.

I have a lot of questions, so I will try to be brief.

As you know, we did a study on poultry imports from Ukraine. Officials from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, CFIA, and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada told us earlier this year that the first 10 poultry shipments from every establishment would undergo full inspection.

Can you tell us whether CFIA's inspections revealed any substances that are banned in Canada?
