Thank you very much Madam Chair.
Thank you all for being here today.
In looking at your assessment stages, it seems to me that you're still at the assessment stage, which means that we're about a year behind. If that is so, could you let us know what's holding back our progress?
Secondly, we know that cardiovascular and other health problems are associated with salt. It's like saying smoking is bad for you. We know this. And we know that excessive salt intake is a causative agent of this. What I find interesting is that if you take a casual walk through the grocery store, you see that the foodstuffs are just packed with salt, even things that are considered “healthy”. Can you let us know, specifically, how you anticipate trying to limit the salt in the foodstuffs that most people who eat in a healthy way are consuming? What solutions are you proffering? Even though consumers are very knowledgeable about the excessive consumption of salt, the practical matter of going through the grocery store and picking up something that is low in sodium is actually quite difficult. If you have some solutions, that would be very worthwhile.
I think Mr. Valeriotte's going to pose a question too. Thank you.
