Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being with us this afternoon.
I'd like to begin with Mr. De Nardi.
You talked about the trade agreements that have been reached: CETA, WTO, CPTPP and CUSMA. Under those agreements, if I understand correctly, Canada has agreed to a combined 10% market access when all of those agreements are fully implemented.
It's not so much that the argument deals with what market access is. It's how that quota is then distributed to the manufacturers and the producers. My understanding—and you've raised the concerns—is that you have these large manufacturers in Canada that have operations in the United States and Europe. They're international. They're actually getting a double advantage from these agreements, leaving small producers such as yourself out in the cold.
You've talked to the government. You've raised these concerns. You've asked for changes. You've spoken to Global Affairs. You've spoken to the minister's office. You've written to them. What have their responses been to you? What actions are they taking to address these concerns for small manufacturers? As you know, in my community I have a small producer-manufacturer, Roman Cheese Products, that sells lasagna, gnocchi and ricotta cheese throughout the country.
How do you respond to that?
