It is paradoxical indeed, because our products are recognized around the world for their quality. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency ensures that our product quality is very high. It is well-known, including in Japan, which is one of the countries with the highest food quality standards.
I would also point out that we signed an African swine fever zoning agreement with the European Union. In the event of an African swine fever outbreak in Canada, we would have a bilateral agreement. There was a swine fever outbreak in Germany, which was able to export its products to Canada. If the same thing were to happen here, however, we would not be able to export our products.
Even with balanced zoning agreements, if the trade agreements are not balanced, we will not be able to address the problem. Seventy per cent of our pork is exported. That represents a high value to Canadian producers.
