International Trade committee  I would defer that question to colleagues at Global Affairs who administer the import and export controls regime.

International Trade committee  I can't think of any obvious immediate negative impacts from the legislation on the supply-managed sectors.

International Trade committee  I apologize, Chair; I'm not sure that I have a lot to add. I think every country has its own internal processes that allow for consultation between legislatures, governments and negotiators at the table. I'm not sure I understood the question as to whether the U.S. system is be

International Trade committee  Thank you very much. No, I fully agree [Technical difficulty—Editor] trade negotiation has reached what we call a balance of commitments or a balance of concessions or a commensurate level of ambition with your trading partner. To the extent there are issues that are of interest

International Trade committee  First of all, I agree that difficult issues are often, if not always, resolved at the end of the trade negotiation. While this issue was resolved at the end of the trade negotiations, the plan management and access in particular on dairy was a feature of the negotiations througho

International Trade committee  I will endeavour to do so, Chair. It is true that supply management rests upon three legs. One is on import controls, because we need to know the volume of product that's entering the country in these sectors in order for us to do the domestic administration and allocation of t

International Trade committee  No, I would agree with the answer. I would say that generally this type of policy constraint would be found in the negotiating mandates we receive that inform our engagement with our negotiating partners. I would endorse the answer that Mr. Forsyth provided.

International Trade committee  Thank you very much. Thank you, Chair. I would certainly agree with everything Doug has said so far and associate myself with his response. I believe the question was whether there are examples of similar measures being imposed by some of our trading partners around the world a

International Trade committee  Madam Chair, I'm afraid I'll have to get back to the member with an answer to that question. I don't have with me the export statistics broken down by commodity. As I mentioned before, I think we exported about $550-million worth of agri-food products to the United Kingdom in 201

International Trade committee  I think this agreement preserved important opportunities for producers of those commodities into the United Kingdom market following its exit from CETA. In many cases, those opportunities had been explored during the period that CETA has been provisionally applied. It is a mark

International Trade committee  I would agree. I think this is largely an exercise in preserving the opportunities for access to the United Kingdom market that our exporters have enjoyed in recent years, including since the provisional application of CETA. We see it as an important market. Our stakeholders see

International Trade committee  I agree with what's been said so far. That is an important export crop into the United Kingdom. It was one of our top two or three agricultural exports into the United Kingdom in 2019, and the CETA outcome for that product was carried over into this TCA.

International Trade committee  I agree with what's been said. I think the outcome on pork is a positive one for the sector. We have had non-tariff challenges to accessing markets in Europe in the past. This agreement maintains outcomes that will allow Canada to work with our partners in Europe and to improve t

International Trade committee  Again, the market access that Canada committed to provide in the context of the CPTPP was a negotiated outcome of the CPTPP and TPP members that negotiated that agreement. Our expectation at the time that we made those commitments was that this market access would be available fo

International Trade committee  I agree with what's been said so far. I think Canada's commitments with respect to supply-managed products, including dairy products under the CPTPP, is well known. Those commitments were made with an expectation that that market access would be utilized by our trading partners t
