Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm going to focus my questions on CFIA, Ms. Lapointe and Mr. Morel.
Ms. Lapointe, I understand that an 80-page draft report was recently sent from CFIA to USDA regarding the P.E.I. potato issue. It was a draft; it was never vetted by the minister or by the industry. Parts of that, including the fact that the P.E.I. Potato Board supports increased labelling on potatoes, are completely false.
Why was this draft report shared with the USDA before being vetted?
