Well, that's a very good question.
I found out yesterday that PMRA is undergoing an evaluation of their re-evaluation process, on which we're very much looking forward to providing input.
The main concern we have from the PMRA perspective, only for the purpose of this discussion, is that there are over 350 pesticides that are up for re-evaluation, and they're not able to keep up with what they have right now. They are lacking data to be able to provide the sufficient scientific basis for decision-making. That has ended up in decisions, from our point of view, that are perhaps made too hastily and not based on science. In part, we think it's because it's a lack of resources. Maybe there are misplaced resources, but it's a lack of resources for the research.
On the other hand, we do know of the Pest Management Centre that has the ability, the know-how, to do a lot of this research that is needed and could feed into the process. They are efficient in their use of resources. They have the data processes in place. If they were provided with additional resources themselves, they would be able to feed into PMRA. Because of their efficiencies in PMC, maybe it would help out PMRA without increasing PMRA's problems.
There is a lack of resources at some point. It might be an efficient way to feed into PMC, which could then feed into PMRA.
To go beyond your question there, for CFIA, I think they are trying to take a broader look, through the creation of the Canadian Plant Health Council. I am on that council and hopefully will be able to provide some direction from the industry perspective on that. Hopefully, that will also help in having more of an integrated approach to plant health in Canada and bringing the different parts together to avoid the problems like you've mentioned in Newfoundland.
