Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Since the last meeting we had, there's been a lot of communication about some of the confusion that might be created by the amendment as it is written. Again, we're talking about the necessity to do a public consultation when we're talking about new living organisms.
There's been some concern brought forward that the amendment as it's written right now will exempt farmed animals, because those would not be animals that are “native to Canada”. I just want to put that out there, and if somebody would propose a subamendment, that might be able to address that concern that people raised.
