One recommendation I have is that if a regulator is going to go towards cost recovery, they should consult with the implicated sector. If you're talking about the cattle or meat sector, just speak to the Canadian Cattlemen's Association or the Canadian Meat Council. We have examples in our industry where we actually pushed.... Again, cost recovery is not always a bad thing. We have an example with the CFIA's plant breeders' rights office. This is essentially the intellectual property. They grant intellectual property protection to my companies' innovations, small to medium-sized. We actually encouraged CFIA to allow the plant breeders' rights office to go towards cost recovery, maintain their A-base funding—so to not reduce that.
We knew that once Canada adopted UPOV 91, the increased plant breeders' rights regulations, the commissioner's office was going to get flooded. We want that. Intellectual property means people are innovating, so we actually encouraged CFIA, in that case, to go towards cost recovery, to make sure there wasn't a backlog where products weren't being granted intellectual property, but that was our pushing for it. I think the implicated value chains need to be consulted.
