Okay, good. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Some things have been said today that are a little conflicting.
We're dealing with all these other countries and internationally exploring ways to harmonize, and yet, Dr. Aucoin, you said we have the best scientists and the best methods and standards. Well, if ours are the best, why would we consider harmonizing with anybody?
Mr. Chair, if I may, I'll get these questions out, and then hopefully there will be enough time for them to answer.
The other thing Dr. Aucoin admitted was that this whole process is driven by trade. So my second question for him is this. Is he convinced that these differing standards that countries have really do interfere with trade?
