Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Traceability is indeed a very interesting topic to me. I come out of a history in agriculture and served on the agriculture committee. Traceability is already a vast and very efficient system in Canada in our trade of animals. However, I see a huge gap in traceability when it comes to seafood, as you referred to.
I have concerns about the illegal, unreported and unregulated fishery. I have a proposed study to come to FOPO in the future. When I hear stories—I'm a member from B.C.—of fish being literally traded on the black market for cash or cocaine, I look at ways of somehow stemming that and preventing that from happening. It's also threatening some pretty significant threatened stocks as well.
I guess I would just ask you, since it seems like you've already talked about not re-creating the wheel—I believe that was you, Ms. Thurston—in more detail, what does the European system look like? This relates to what Mr. Morrissey already said.
It seems like our fishers already abide by these regulations, so what would it look like coming to Canada? How would we implement that actually in Canada?
