Unfortunately, I'm not aware of a specific appeal process to raise the concerns that I've been speaking to today as they relate to the way they make decisions around chemistry, and when chemistry, as well as seeds and traits, are reviewed.
Another example that I think might be worth sharing is that of some of the requirements that exist as they relate to relabelling product. An area where we've tried to provide feedback with the PMRA specifically, not CFIA, is with respect to their process when there's a requirement for a label change. They actually require those products to be pulled off the shelves and relabelled, as opposed to other jurisdictions like the U.S., where they'll give us a time period by which that product needs to be relabelled.
As you can imagine, that significantly impacts efficiency. It's taking away time that we could be investing in manufacturing product. Instead, we're having to bring product back through the channel and relabel it, all while farmers are not having access to that technology during that period.
Again, this is something that we have given feedback about to the PMRA, something that we have concerns about. I think your question is as it relates to a specific review process. Unfortunately, we feel that some of that feedback is not being taken on board, and that is what has brought me here today.
