Agriculture committee  They would be under the Government of Canada broader rules around information management. We typically produce them on a monthly basis, but they would be subject to the rules of the retention of public records. Six years, I believe, is what it is.

Agriculture committee  I would say that we're pretty comfortable with our ability to provide information, in this case to Finance Canada, and for sharing with other departments to assist them in the kind of analysis and understanding of what the current impacts look like in the marketplace. It's fairl

Agriculture committee  Mr. Chairman, we have the ability to monitor all of the imports that come to Canada at the individual firm level. Importers are required, as always, to provide true and accurate declarations with supporting information. Origin on all things coming from Ukraine as well as other co

Agriculture committee  If I may ask, is the question in relation to the remission order or generally speaking?

Agriculture committee  Thanks for the clarification. I appreciate it. When we are doing risking of goods—in this case we're referring to chicken—we do that jointly with the lead department, in this case the CFIA, from an animal and human health standpoint. Up front there's the assurance, as you mentio

Agriculture committee  Go ahead, Tom.

International Trade committee  We're adding a team around investigations of anti-dumping. Those are completely distinct, completely separate functions. There we're actually time-bound in the statute for the maximum time frame. Usually it's 260 days to go from A to Z in an anti-dumping investigation, with the C

International Trade committee  I think that at this point what we'd be able to do is reallocate internally. The member raised the question of the duty relief processing times and the requirement for a visit. We've reallocated personnel to shore it up in the regions where this work is done, so I've had the regi

International Trade committee  We have a sense that surely.... Let me back up. It really depends on how long the surtax is in effect and how long the surge lasts. That's an unknown commodity for everybody.

International Trade committee  At this point it's difficult to predict. More is always better, but in the trade world, as you can tell from some of the things we're talking about, it's a very technical domain. It's deep expertise. I just want to caution that immediate surges of untrained people are helpful f

International Trade committee  It would be us, actually. We're both the administrator as well as...on both sides.
