International Trade committee  Mr. Chair, honourable members, good morning. Agri-Traçabilité Québec, a non-profit organization, was created on September 25, 2001, in order to develop and put in place a system for permanent identification and traceability of agricultural products in Quebec. Building on the partnership between government and agricultural producers, the ATQ board of directors is made up of representatives from the Union des producteurs agricoles, MAPAQ and the Financière agricole du Québec.
