Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Thanks to our witnesses for being here.
I want to start with CAFTA and the Canadian Cattle Association. I know that the current government has reached a market access agreement with the United Kingdom to join the CPTPP, but they have done so without addressing some of the issues that you have talked about, like SPS, like carcass washing.
What kind of a missed opportunity is this for Canadian producers when we see such a massive discrepancy, a $25-million difference, between exports from the United Kingdom and exports from Canada to the U.K.? That gap is growing.
