Agriculture committee Are you talking about the CFIA, or are you talking about the government, when we made the decision?
December 7th, 2022Committee meeting
Marie-Claude BibeauLiberal
Agriculture committee I don't understand the question. Why would the CFIA have consulted the stakeholders? There's something that I don't get in your question. I'm sorry.

Agriculture committee As you know, we have already provided all of the compensation for the two free trade agreements with the European Union and the CPTPP. Only the CUSMA was left. There is $1.7 billion that I have announced for CUSMA. The amount of $1.2 billion will go to the dairy farmers in the sa

Agriculture committee Absolutely. This is work that is being done under the leadership of Minister Blair. I don't have the data with me, unfortunately, but I can assure you that this is something that we are looking at very carefully and this is why we are investing $1.5 billion in agri-environmental

Agriculture committee The decision was made last June. The people at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency took the necessary time to do all the assessments and proceeded as they would have done with other trading partners to make sure we could have confidence in the product that would be entering Canad

Agriculture committee It is a decision that was made in the context of all the support we are offering Ukraine. We have done certain things to support that country and we have imposed major sanctions on Russia. Some key stakeholders actually were consulted, but our consultation was certainly not as b

Agriculture committee We communicated with some of them.
December 7th, 2022Committee meeting

Agriculture committee That is certainly not the case.

Marie-Claude BibeauLiberal
Agriculture committee The decision was made and some stakeholders were consulted. I want to say, again, that the measure is an exceptional and temporary one.
December 7th, 2022Committee meeting
Marie-Claude BibeauLiberal
Agriculture committee Thank you. Well, this is a mandate letter for four years. We were dealing with a few emergencies at the beginning of this mandate. We have started a conversation internally. I think this is something that we will have to look at very carefully and, as we always do, we will hav

Marie-Claude BibeauLiberal
Agriculture committee It's hard to tell. As I said, we have only started internally for now. Once again, I have four years to go through my mandate letter, hopefully. I've learned in politics that giving a date is very risky. I acknowledge this is in my mandate letter, and we will move forward and w

Agriculture committee I hear you. I hear you.
December 7th, 2022Committee meeting
Marie-Claude BibeauLiberal
Agriculture committee Thank you. On the first question around the clean technology program, yes, I would say we received at least five times more demands, as a round number, than we could approve in the first round. In the last budget we got an increase. We have a total of $495 million for the prog

Marie-Claude BibeauLiberal
Agriculture committee First, I have complete confidence in the expertise of the Agency's people and I do not doubt that they proceeded as we do with all our trading partners: based on the science and depending on the risks. I can also reassure you: the first containers that are going to enter the cou
