The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has conducted some small-scale pilots in this area, and we have had success with those pilots.
There is an alternate service delivery program for the inspection of seed crops of hybrid corn in Ontario and one for hybrid canola in Alberta. Those have been running for about 15 years. There was also a small pilot project for private soybean seed crop inspection, which was carried out in Ontario in 2011.
These small programs represent a small amount of the seed crops—less than 5%. Nevertheless, we have learned from those experiences, and this proposal seeks to formalize the legal authorities in those areas but also to build on the experience in those pilots.
