Thank you.
My first question is for Mr. Fulton.
As an MP who represents many ranchers in Similkameen—South Okanagan—West Kootenay, I agree with the intention of the study because I want to see more Pacific beef exports, and so do my ranchers. In fact, they'd like more markets in general, of course. We'd like to focus on more Asian markets. Obviously, those markets come under a lot of competition from Australian beef, New Zealand beef and American beef. Canadian beef producers want to keep and eventually grow our foothold in the Japanese market or in Asian markets.
What are the chief barriers that you see limiting Canada from bolstering these export markets?
