Thank you, Chair.
Chair, you will remember that as a committee we were able to travel from coast to coast to coast as we were doing our consultations on the CPTPP. We know that canola is such an important industry to our country. It is a Canadian-made product. It was founded here. I know we're hearing from many of the prairie provinces where it is a predominant crop, but we heard about it from B.C. and all the way to the Atlantic and in my province of Ontario.
Minister Bibeau, my first question is for you. The Chinese have added further restrictions, and we question the science of their decisions. Why are we sticking so closely to the science-based approach?
