Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here today.
If you have a copy of your report, I wonder if you could refer to page 7. With regard to maximum residue limits, I have a question. In looking through that report quickly, I see that the “PMRA is actively involved in ongoing [maximum residue limits] initiatives” and that “[t]hese ongoing projects should also assist in further aligning MRLs for major and minor uses of pesticides to minimize trade barriers of pesticide-treated commodities between global partners”.
I wonder if you could elaborate on precisely how these MRLs will benefit our trade relations with global partners going forward.
