It's more about the workload.
According to the program, the assessment is done in co-operation with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, through the minor use program. The program generates data for us over several seasons. As a result, there is a long period between the time when it is determined to be a priority and the time when Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada can undertake the project. I must say that this department has limited capacity. Data can't be generated every year because of the weather. The people at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada also have to create a file and send it to us for review. Given that we have limited resources, we sometimes work with the provinces to find out what the priority is for the group of products we have. Sometimes it can take time. It really depends on the active ingredient.
I think I know which product you're talking about. Is it the one for beets?
