Thanks very much.
I guess part of it is that there's no definition that says there could possibly be exemptions to the list. That causes me to pause and to understand that maybe that needs to be better defined in the legislation, to say there is a process that's ongoing.
If we're going to talk about exemptions, then I think it really behooves the members of this committee to understand that there could possibly be exemptions to this and, if so, what the process for determining that is. Who's the arbiter thereof, to say there are exemptions? Is there going to be an opportunity for people such as the Dairy Farmers of Canada to make an application to the arbiters thereof?
I think the reason it's germane to bring this up and perhaps belabour something that seems to be small is that we all know that milk, historically, was a significant part of diets in school programs. We've seen that substance banned from certain schools, where it's said children shouldn't have it. However, we all know the protein in milk can form a very important part of a child's diet, even though the fat content may be a cause for concern—I don't know why the discontent or malcontent with milk came about.
I guess that is a modern-day example of what would give me pause. We know there are examples where this has occurred before. There's no mention of how to get an exemption and there's no mention of who the final arbiter and decision-maker is. To me, those are causes for concern.
Perhaps the legal experts will be able to say how we can better rectify that—or not.
