Actually, there's a very good example, very close to Ottawa. It's a company called Sevita seeds. They developed a soybean that has a healthier oil profile to meet a market demand in Japan. It doesn't need pre-market assessment anywhere else in the world. It's not a GMO. It's not a product of gene editing, but unfortunately CFIA couldn't decide whether it needed to go through the two-year assessment process or not. As a result, Sevita took its seeds, took its technology, went to the United States and farmers in the United States will now grow this product to ship to Japan. That is a very real-life example of a regulatory barrier that costs the Canadian industry.
It's easily fixable by having a clear mandate for an agency such as CFIA to consider the competitiveness.
