Will do.
I won't go through the approvals for novel foods and food additives. The story is very much the same there. There's an example here of a Canadian company that lost over $5 million in revenue just waiting for an approval, which speaks to the issue of why Canada can't accept international standards for scientific evidence.
I'll just move quickly to the recommendations.
I think as a sector we can very much support the recommendations on fiscal policy with respect to corporate tax rates and capital cost appreciation made by some of the manufacturing sectors that spoke before us. But I think our most urgent priority as a sector is to make regulatory modernization a key component of the economic and competitiveness agenda of Canada. That requires pursuing a long-term, focused, government-wide initiative. And again, I'll just make the point that we are by no means alone in requiring that in order to move forward.
The two recommendations I will end with are specific to some of the issues I've raised from my sector alone, and they are to urge the government to move forward with regulations on food fortification and to develop a responsive regulatory framework for health claims.
That's where I'll end my remarks, Mr. Chairman.
