As you know, change can be hard for an industry. For years, people have always done things a certain way. If practices were changed, though, we would definitely come out big winners.
Thank you, Ms. Thurston.
My next questions are for Ms. Dawson and Mr. Hanner.
I think both of you, or maybe one of you, said that there were some issues with CFIA when it comes to traceability.
Is the only issue regarding where the product is coming from and all the rules surrounding it?
I'll give you an example. For lobster and crab, fishermen need bait. Sometimes we import herring, for example, or mackerel, from other countries. Some of those countries, for example within the European Union, seem to be very safe, as all of you have said. I think they have some good rules, but it's very difficult to import some of those herring or mackerel for bait.
What do you think is the problem? The European Union has a very high traceability process, and when it comes to us having that bait here, which we kind of stock at every single corner where the industry and the fishermen need it, is there a problem that we don't know about? Why is it so difficult?
