Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
It's great to be on this committee for the first time, especially on a study on Canada's trade with Japan. This is incredibly relevant to my riding, both in the agricultural sector and in the manufacturing sector, and in both imports and exports with Japan. I'm very happy to be here.
I was hoping to have Mr. Kennedy available, but I will ask you, Monsieur Morin, about pork, because you did bring it up. This is not a huge export for Elgin County in Ontario, but we do sell pork to Japan.
One of the opportunities I saw when I was in Taiwan a couple of years ago was that they were so proud to be serving Canadian pork. They were putting up big signs at the hotel because of how good the product was.
Is it your experience as well that in Asia, Canadian pork is widely regarded as not just an affordable product, but a superior product?
