Agriculture committee  Exactly. We haven't had any direct discussions with any of the stakeholders, but we're absolutely open to having those discussions and we're continuing to monitor the situation.

Agriculture committee  Thank you very much for the question, Mr. Chair. I think that our internal analysis of the types of information that we would provide as a decision was being made.... No, there was no decision with respect to the carbon footprint or the environmental impact with respect to the e

Agriculture committee  Absolutely, that was part and parcel of the overall government response to the Ukraine situation and looking at how we could provide help and what type of assistance we could provide globally in and around that area. Global food security was top of mind in our overall government

Agriculture committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. It's a pleasure to be here this afternoon to discuss the Ukraine goods remission order. As noted, I am the director general for the market access bureau at Global Affairs Canada. I would like to acknowledge that my team and I are joining you toda

International Trade committee  I can just pick up on that, Madam Chair. Yes. I can confirm that following round one of our negotiations with the United Kingdom, we had a full stakeholder debrief. We will continue to hold those debriefs and those consultations as we move forward in the negotiations.

Fisheries committee  Mr. Chair, I would add that to the best of my knowledge, we similarly are not involved in any type of ongoing development with CFIA and with DFO on traceability at this time.

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I can perhaps add a bit to my colleague's intervention. First off, in terms of IUU fishing, the department of Global Affairs Canada does not have a mandate to manage that or to deal with that. Then I would echo my colleague's comments with respect to l

Fisheries committee  I think that question is probably not best directed at me. Up front, yes we do trade a lot of fish products between Canada and the United States, as we do a lot of other products, but fish, absolutely. Global Affairs Canada is not involved with any programs or administration of t

Fisheries committee  I don't have anything else to add. I think my colleague handled it very well.

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Perhaps I could add a little bit to my colleague's answer and echo his comments. Global Affairs Canada participates with and works cooperatively with other government departments on a range of issues, including the development of regulations and standards.

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Again, to echo my previous comments, I think Global Affairs Canada has a role to play as an important part of the development of regulations for the Government of Canada. We are absolutely pleased to do that, as my colleague said, in conjunction with the le

Fisheries committee  I apologize, my connection dropped off, but I caught most of your question. I'm having some Internet connection problems. In response, I think when we enter into free trade negotiations with a partner, we absolutely assess what's possible before we get to the negotiating table.

Fisheries committee  We actually work very closely with our CBSA colleagues as well as other government departments. As we go forward in a negotiation, there will be some differences, frankly, between Canada and whomever we're negotiating with, and those are part of the things that you would settle a

Fisheries committee  Good afternoon. I appreciate the opportunity to speak with committee members today in the context of the committee's study on fish and seafood products' traceability. Mr. Chair, I understand that the committee has already heard from colleagues representing the Canadian Food Ins

International Trade committee  Do you mean with respect to CUSMA or just in general?
