Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Welcome to our witnesses.
I'm sharing my time with Mr. Holder so I'll try to be fairly brief here. But I do want to say to Mr. Loo, welcome. It was an interesting discussion and it's great to see Wayne finally bring us an interesting witness. It really is. You have to give him a little twist every once in awhile. When we started talking about the translation, we usually have to translate for Wayne and sometimes for myself, from the east coast, but I think you were okay.
You found a market niche. That's really what happened here. You developed that market niche yourself. I appreciate some of the difficulties you say you've incurred, but I do have to say, in defence of embassy staff and our trade commissioners, that I have found these folks to be some of the best people in the world to deal with. They're extremely helpful 99.9% of the time, though I'm sure there can be some hitches in that.
But what I'm seeing from your success story is that you found your market, you realized Japan has some unique requirements and you met those, specifically pesticide and GMO testing. If you have to do it in Japan, it's the cost of doing business, so you have to work that into your profit margins and you found a way to do it.
Is it more than phytosanitary restrictions, or are there some other regulatory issues there?
