Again, the imports from New Zealand or from any of our CPTPP countries that meet Canada's food quality requirements are eligible to be imported. Global Affairs Canada, through its trade controls directorate, administers the import and export controls regime, including import licences for dairy products that are covered by the CPTPP, including imports of those products from New Zealand. Now, what the holders of those licences choose to import is up to the holders of those licences.
