One of the thorny questions I think we all experience here as we enter trade negotiations is the desire to have common standards that we can negotiate worldwide, while preserving our democratic ability to set our own standards. Here in Canada we don't allow hormones in our milk that the Americans do. The Europeans have a different perspective on GMOs than we have in Canada.
Do you have any thoughts or advice to give the committee on how we can preserve a responsive democratic ability for Canadians to set our own standards, while also negotiating our ability to get our products around the world?
