It's going from a company owned by a Mr. Mao, who exports this under a CFIA banner.

I'd like CFIA included in our next meeting, by the way.

His brother-in-law is the manager of ChiCan in my riding, which is owned by a Mr. He in China, who's in jail in China for breaking Chinese law on importing illegal seafood. This is the money behind this operation. Are you pursuing that and shutting down Zheng Chao at Atlantic ChiCan?

Are you shutting down the company in Toronto that is exporting these illegal elvers and charging them?
