Agriculture committee  Our viewpoint would be right in line with various comments, the difference being that we see the particular products for us as being flours; protein concentrates and isolates, which are the protein part of peas, for example, that are isolated either by dry or wet milling; and the

Agriculture committee  You know, we haven't done that analysis. It wouldn't be hard for us to plug in some of the multipliers to the number of tonnes that we're speaking about, but we haven't quite gotten around to that.

Agriculture committee  The opportunity we're discussing right now is really contingent upon the continuation of trends in processed food products that are prevalent in both North America and the European Union today. The bet that seems to be on by the food manufacturing sector is that if you can take e

Agriculture committee  Well, every pulse and special crop goes into Europe duty-free, except for a tariff of 37 euros per tonne that has been applied, albeit unevenly, to buckwheat. That will be immediately eliminated. There has been a 7.7% tariff on pulse flour, a 5.1% tariff on bran and fibre, and

Agriculture committee  This, for our industry, is a medium- to longer-term opportunity. Currently we're in the business of sending over whole and splits. Increasingly, we hope to get into the business, but we're on the really early part of the growth curve.

Agriculture committee  Yes, the higher end of those tariffs would be prohibitive, there's no doubt.

Agriculture committee  I'm happy to provide an answer for that question, and I'll follow up with the clerk directly on the wording, and provide an answer back to him.

Agriculture committee  It was 65 million tonnes. Yes.

Agriculture committee  No. That's the total volume of the crop. That's from the last Ag Canada, Canada: Outlook for Principal Field Crops.

Agriculture committee  I don't know. It's out of my area of expertise; I'm sorry.

Agriculture committee  I have to say those of us in the industry could be of two minds on this one. First, anything that improves the likelihood that we're going to be able to resolve some of these issues, or we're going to be able to move towards synchronous timing of approvals in the future, is great

Agriculture committee  Yes. I'm cheering for the Riders.

Agriculture committee  Our concern around regulatory harmonization is that we have products that are compliant with Canadian food safety standards, which are certainly among the toughest food safety standards in the world, but may not be compliant with EU standards. It's not because they have assessed
