The growers will usually be in contact with the company to flag such issues, and they will let us know of these things. Sometimes, in terms of timelines, if something is really pressing, we might consider emergency registration. We have a process. I don't think resistance is usually a factor for emergency registration, but there is an option for an accelerated timeline if there's a really pressing issue. It's working with all the stakeholders, but as a regulator, we can't really go.... It would be a bit awkward for us to seek a registrant to come add a product to the market. Usually the growers will do that, sometimes in collaboration with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.
