Thanks.
It's good seeing you again, Mr. Fadden. It's been a while. You used to come to the agriculture committee all the time, and I enjoyed the avenue there when you were still with CFIA.
I see that you have jumped into a pretty big file, one that is quite daunting. I know you can rise to the challenges before you.
Just following up on what Ms. Chow was talking about, there is this whole issue of ministerial instructions. There has been some fearmongering out there that they could be used to discriminate. I want to have you explain to us, at committee here, exactly what terms of openness and consultation are going to be in play to ensure that there are no discriminatory measures taken. And what special emphasis is going to be placed on the inability of the ministerial instructions to discriminate on the grounds of religion, race, ethnic origin, and country of origin?
