Thanks, Chair.
Thank to our witnesses.
Mr. Buy, you were talking about the need to accelerate approvals of certain products. That's interesting.
I had a meeting with the Alberta irrigation districts last week. They have a herbicide they want to use and that they've been asking for decades to have. In fact, it has been used in the United States since the 1960s, but still, the PMRA has blocked approvals here. We've also heard from the PMRA that it takes up to 12 years to get products approved in Canada.
For the Innovation Council, have you done an analysis of the economic impact these types of delays have had on innovators and on the agriculture industry in Canada?
