Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I want to thank the witnesses for being here.
I'd like to jump right in, Monsieur Roy, with you.
You mentioned in your opening statement that we're opening our market, but we're getting no access in return. In your sector, with non-tariff barriers, you mentioned they're not supposed to be intentional, and then suddenly we see these things hitting our industry. I wanted to talk to you a bit about the U.K. You mentioned, in a recent article you put out, the U.K.'s misleading position on trade issues. I think you mention in there the growth hormone, but there's also an issue, which I believe is ongoing, with carcass washing. From the science standpoint, it looks like our system is even superior to the U.K. one, yet we're not getting anywhere.
I just wanted to ask you this: How long has this been going on? How long has the government known about this? Has there been any progress with this particular non-tariff barrier?
