Thank you.
On your first point, with respect to what we've been saying about discussions within NAFTA, what we were saying is very consistent with what the minister has said. These things are under discussion. There have been no decisions reached yet, and there is in fact an international discussion, not just a discussion with the Americans. There are OECD countries and countries around the world that are discussing the potential trade issues caused by differences in pesticide maximum residue limits between countries and whether there is a possibility of harmonizing those pesticide residue limits or not.
We will absolutely not propose to do that if there is any chance of compromising human health on that issue, and we've been very clear on that. We're simply indicating that it is an international discussion; there are significant trade issues that are being discussed because of these residue limits. And we are asking if there is an opportunity or possibility to harmonize residue limits without compromising human health.
The goal, as you've said, should be to not increase pesticide residues on food. I absolutely support that. Health Canada supports that, and in everything we do we've been very clear that we actually support reduced pesticide use where possible. What we're discussing here are the actual residue limits on food and not the amount of pesticides that farmers are using. I think it's clear that there is a trend for farmers across the country and around the world to use less pesticide rather than more.
