In February 2007, this committee heard a professor/scholar from the University of Guelph, Mr. Alejandro G. Marangoni. He told us that he had, in his own home, developed a substance that, according to all of his studies, could adequately replace trans fat. I would like to know if, within your industry, you have taken note of what Mr. Marangoni told us. Have you decided to work with him, concretely, in order to apply his research, in practice, in your industry. I well remember — and some colleagues around the table will as well — that he gave us some cookies containing this substance in order for us to taste them. It therefore was workable for the baking industry. Have you worked with Mr. Marangoni with a view to eliminating trans fat in your industry?
