We have extensive engagement with representatives from across the agriculture sector. One thing I mentioned in my opening comments, and this is actually in the report as an example, is an agile regulations table that I co-chair with industry and representation across the sector, provinces and territories. We have an opportunity to have members of CFIA, PMRA and others be a part of that committee to explore together and look for opportunities to improve regulatory burden within the sector.
A lot of what we hear through that table and through others, in conversations we have with the sector, are the aspects of what would be considered by some as unintended consequences and accumulative burden. We want to have a comprehension of the fact that there are often multiple layers of different types of regulations that impact a sector. They come from a wide number of regulators. It's not exclusively those you see seated before you at the table today, but a number of other regulators as well.
I think we've made some good progress toward finding ways to not necessarily just make regulatory changes, but to have a better comprehension between regulators and the sector to understand what those burdens are, look for solutions and be able to bring things forward that could cut across the board.
As part of that group, we'd identified some 150 irritants. I think there were about 34 or 35 we were able to resolve. Some of those have to do with interpretations of regulations, timing of when consultations happen and various other aspects.
I think the importance is on the ongoing engagement we have, which includes a multitude of regulators as well as a cross-section of the agriculture sector.
Thank you.
