Thank you, Madam Chair.
This time, I will turn to Mr. Kolz and Ms. Bergeron.
I know that, in the end, you are advocating for a science-based reduction of non-tariff barriers, which is not an easy task.
However, we have heard from witnesses who have really talked to us about products that are produced abroad in ecocidal and truly deplorable conditions.
Should we not consider creating barriers ourselves for certain products? Actually, I prefer not to say “non-tariff barriers” because I'm afraid that label will be used everywhere. We must nevertheless retain the right to legislate because, when you say that it is science-based, science is there in a certain way, as well.
I'm thinking of palm oil, for example. We have heard a lot of testimony about how this product is produced in India and Indonesia, and it's absolutely terrible.
Should we ourselves be looking at retaining the right to legislate? I'm not necessarily talking about responding to one barrier with another barrier.
