Michèle Govier

Agriculture committee  I would say that I hope we have found the right balance. Clearly, we understand that there are concerns being raised here today and we have been mindful of those, and that's why we wanted to put a monitoring system in place that is looking at things quite carefully. The overall

Agriculture committee  No. This is a fairly unique instance, not just with respect to the supply management aspect, but to having something where all imports from a particular country are affected. I think that reflects the really unique circumstances we're in with respect to Ukraine.

Agriculture committee  Yes, I would say the same thing. We didn't specifically look at that and who was benefiting. I mean, we're aware of the companies that are there, but as we've heard, they're not certified just yet, so it's a little bit hard to have a good understanding of what those impacts migh

Agriculture committee  On the supply-managed goods, as I may have noted before, we were aware, from our free trade negotiations with Ukraine, that there was an interest in the chicken market.

Agriculture committee  At this stage, knowing what we know, I would say no. I think the risks and the concerns that have been brought forward are something we need to monitor to see if there is the potential that there could be some risks, but as I've said, we are really trying to monitor things very c

Agriculture committee  That's not something that's being considered right now. I know that's been done in the context of various free trade agreements. I don't think we're at that point, we don't see the kinds of imports at this point that would warrant that discussion.
