I guess I'll just leave it at that.
Maybe there are documents you can table with the committee in this regard. The provinces were asking for a map to be used during the driest time of the year, which was June. The federal government came back and said to use this map from later in August, which represented a significant difference in moisture. August is too late. I would just encourage you to make sure that the maps the federal government is using are actually accurate with respect to the time when they are most needed.
Dr. Kochhar, thank you very much for coming. We haven't had a chance to have you at committee in a while.
In his questions to the minister, my colleague Mr. MacDonald mentioned the P.E.I. potato wart issue. It's been more than two years since the ban on the export of P.E.I. seed potatoes. I think that to say there's some frustration with CFIA on this issue would be an understatement.
I would really appreciate an update from you. An international review committee appointed by the Liberal government last year came out with its report saying there was no risk of potato wart in the seed potato industry in P.E.I., yet the ministerial order is still in place.
Can you give us an update? I understand that CFIA is meeting with the potato board later this month or in December. Can you give us an update on what the situation is?
