Thank you, Mr. Chair.
To Mr. Reed, one of the questions I've struggled with is that we in Canada generally trust the companies that are doing business within our borders to do well. In terms of the testing processes used by government, essentially allowing companies to test their own products, I'm trying to tease apart how it's not a conflict of interest, or there isn't a challenge.
First, have we done any analysis of how much in-house capacity we have to do the testing? Second, do we have any analysis of or research on the effectiveness of the external testing that's being done by companies? Is it peer-reviewed? Is there any further backup done? Does Canada replicate the tests that companies offer us in terms of determining that the products are safe for market?
