Thank you, Mr. Chair.

And thank you to both of our guests for your hard work on the agreement.

I want to pick up where Mr. MacAulay left off on eco-certification. Right now DFO considers the seeking of eco-labelling as industry-lead and voluntary market-driven decisions, but the EU is slightly different. You did touch on it there in the response to Mr. MacAulay's question, and I just wanted you to elaborate a little further on whether this inclusion in CETA and the recognition of the benefits of eco-certification will have implications for Canada?
