Thank you to both of the witnesses.
I'm from British Columbia, so I will talk to Ms. Hayden about some of the issues that are very important to the coastal communities.
Over the years we've had issues with mad cow disease, where we've seen, overnight, the beef industry, cattle industry, devastated in regard to shipping their goods out to Korea and Japan and other parts of the world.
Being from British Columbia, the coastal communities, we have many communities along the coast that depend on fishing, and also other seafood products that we export to South Asian countries. Lately, we've had issues around sea lice in farmed salmon.
Ms. Hayden, could you maybe tell us what impact that would have, considering that we've heard in the committee here that the Japanese expect very high-quality products? If that sea lice somehow gets into our commercial wild salmon or other seafood products, what impact would that have on our ability to trade those goods with Japan?
