Agriculture committee  Exactly. There are many countries, as we mentioned, and the evidence—and again I can't preclude what the Japanese or the South Koreans were doing, but they have been very appreciative and positive about how we've responded and about the information we've given them. As Mr. Drouin

Agriculture committee  That is a good question. In the United States, it was more or less a month.

Agriculture committee  You are welcome.

Agriculture committee  Thank you for the question. There were some similarities with the U.S., and one of the answers I want to give everybody is that in the 2013 Oregon case, the U.S. was never able to determine the origin. There's one example where it was. They were able to confirm that the product

Agriculture committee  No.

Agriculture committee  No.

Agriculture committee  Very much so, and again, I'm going to repeat myself, not because I like to hear myself say the same thing—

Agriculture committee  It's a good question. I won't prejudice the concluding comments by the Japanese or the South Koreans, but we do have lessons learned from what we saw with the United States.

Agriculture committee  I'm going to ask my colleague David Bailey to respond to that.

Agriculture committee  Thank you for the question. Your point on information is noted. We have heard similar comments from others, and we'll take note of that going forward. I appreciate that. Relative to the Japanese government, as well as other governments, they were advised as the announcement was

Agriculture committee  I'm going to give you a part of the answer and then ask my colleague David Bailey to also help. This is new for us. This is a sensitive issue, as people appreciate, and information such as this can affect markets. I think we're all aware of that. As you indicated, key industr
