First of all, thank you to all our witnesses for excellent presentations. I think we've gotten some very clear, concise ideas that we can deliberate on for our report.
I grew up as the son of a public servant. My father was actually involved in nomenclature in the GATT. He used to have what I thought were really pedestrian conversations about what an egg is and about standards, saying an egg isn't always an egg, that it depends how you define it, when you're exporting or importing. But the standards piece is really important.
Ms. Greenwood, I think your message is solid. We find it interesting here in Canada, when we quite rightly talk about the challenges we face with our friends south of the border and farther south of the border, that sometimes we have problems just doing this here in Canada. One thing I'd like to know from you is, on standards, what your understanding is of how we can do a better job. I mean not just of working with our friends south of the border and what you've pointed out; we have some challenges here in Canada that we have to face.
Mr. Robinson, you may want to touch on this as well.
How can we consolidate and get our house in order here, while obviously also wanting to reach out and work with our partners south of the border?
