Mr. Arun Alexander at the International Trade Committee

I would note that palm oil imports to Canada are relatively low. In 2021 we imported approximately 43 million dollars' worth of palm oil from Indonesia.

We think that working with Indonesia in a collaborative and co-operative manner on forestry stewardship and sustainable forestry practices will help Indonesia manage its ecosystem and plantations for palm oil products in a manner that is responsible and sustainable. That would be our goal through an agreement.
