Thank you, Madam Chair.
I wish to thank the witnesses for being here today.
In her presentation, Ms. Brown told us that the four-year timeframe had been deemed sufficiently long for the various stakeholders to adjust to regulations requiring a sizeable reduction of trans fat in food products. However, several players are today saying that this does not give them adequate time. Ms. Brown however stated that all of the stakeholders were at the table when the four-year period was established and that there was no dissenting opinion.
I would like to know why this timeframe was sufficient four years ago but no longer is today. This question is for all of our guests.
