Agriculture committee  Just that there are so many other advantages to doing this kind of a work-sharing joint review approach. We have, as Karen has pointed out, a history of working closely with the United States, but increasingly we're working in a global environment, so we are working with our gl

Agriculture committee  One of the commitments we made in extending the own use import program was to allow the existing products to be part of that program until at least June 2008. Our commitment was that we would then re-evaluate the program to see if programs such as the own use import program, the

Agriculture committee  We did have a large group of stakeholders who came to a consensus on the own use import program and there was a task force established. There was a general consensus that we would take this approach, that we would try to encourage the introduction of other products through the GR

Agriculture committee  Through the global joint reviews, we have already spoken to some of the advantages we see to doing those from the standpoint of allowing our growers to gain access to some of these new chemistries in a similar timeframe. The other very important aspect of this is that because we'

Agriculture committee  Absolutely. Certainly among OECD countries, it levels the playing field in terms of the kinds of tools that producers have and also in terms of the export markets they would like to enter into. Those countries have already assessed that chemical as well, and ideally if we're wor

Agriculture committee  Absolutely. I wanted to quickly point to a comment you made earlier about our working with grower associations with Canada. Another interesting outcome is that we believe that we have facilitated, at least to a small degree, the relationships between grower associations in Canad

Agriculture committee  I don't think that's very easy to quantify. I know it's a very significant number of products available to you as producers. Canada, especially in the area of minor use pesticides, is not a big market. There are a lot of manufacturers in the United States that for business reaso

Agriculture committee  I don't have the numbers, but there is a whole series of new chemical submissions that have come in since we began implementation in July.

Agriculture committee  None have made it through yet.

Agriculture committee  No, I don't have a specific timeframe. It depends on the nature of the product that is in submission and when we'll be able to make a review decision on it. I expect that, through 2008, at least a couple more of those will be completed, but I wouldn't want to give you a....

Agriculture committee  Yes.

Agriculture committee  I wouldn't want to bet my life that the registration exists for that cyanide, but there has historically been a cyanide-based product primarily for use in coyote control.

Agriculture committee  That's correct. Typically these kinds of products, such as this cyanide product for coyote control--there's a long name, a sodium monofluoroacetate type of product--are restricted-class products that almost certainly must have a provincial permit for use or be part of a provincia

Agriculture committee  That's correct.
