Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here today. It's a pleasure to see them again.
Mr. Fulton and Ms. Babcock, to draw a parallel, I'm going to talk to you about your access to the European market. Mr. Fulton, you just alluded to it when you talked about Great Britain and its potential membership in the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, which would degrade it. We're talking about non-tariff barriers here. That could happen in Asia as well, if we're not vigilant. You just talked about China, which is still blocking your imports in a totally arbitrary manner, as I understand it.
I would remind you that you were supposed to have significant access to the European market, but that's not working because, among other things, our method of cleaning carcasses is not recognized. When you talk about science, I know that's what you're referring to. There has to be reciprocity of standards, equivalency.
As parliamentarians, what can we do to ensure that developing the Asia-Pacific market will not result in non-tariff barriers? Are there any precautions we can take in that respect?
