Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I also want to thank my colleagues and, of course, the witnesses who are with us.

You've identified significant new scientific information. I'm just trying to understand how CFIA labels significant new information when we talk about, for instance, if we're allowed to send packaged bees from south to north. I think that's part of the reason we're here. I don't know the answer, so I'm asking honestly. How do you say this is significant new information versus this is not significant new information?
