Certainly, amitraz-resistant varroa mites are one of our hazards, one of our concerns, that we include when we do the risk assessment. When there is varroa resistance in another country that wants to export to Canada, certainly the CFIA will be looking at that from a risk assessment perspective because it introduces varroa resistance to Canada. We already heard in the committee that there are very few treatment products available for varroa mites, and we don't want to introduce any resistance into the Canadian bee population through importation.
