Agriculture committee I support the motion as it stands. I think it underscores the important of this and it's a statement that we as a committee can make and ensure the process will go through. I understand that. I don't think the timing will hurt what's happening right now.
June 6th, 2006Committee meeting
Agriculture committee Thank you. Mr. Atamanenko, seven minutes, please.

Agriculture committee In preparation for this, I talked with the president of the B.C. Fruit Growers' Association. You may have answered some of these questions, but I'll just run down.... For the first one, he talked about measuring the performance of how changes are impacting the new registration i
June 8th, 2006Committee meeting
Agriculture committee Apparently, some new products are flowing, and we talked about that, but it still takes much longer in Canada than in the U.S. Can you comment on that?
June 8th, 2006Committee meeting
Agriculture committee The process itself is not longer; it's the fact--
June 8th, 2006Committee meeting
Agriculture committee The fear of harmonization was mentioned to me. How do we get past this fear? Can we get more harmonization to have more products registered simultaneously? You've touched on this, but that's a question.
June 8th, 2006Committee meeting
Agriculture committee Apparently, products approved in the U.S. are automatically approved in Chile. Is that the case? And if it is, should we be striving for this, and if so, would that lower our standards?
June 8th, 2006Committee meeting
Agriculture committee It's not an automatic approval, then, which is obviously in our best interest, I would imagine.
June 8th, 2006Committee meeting
Agriculture committee This question has been asked of me before. Certain products in the U.S. are grown—apples, for example—with specific chemicals not approved in Canada. We import these products, yet our people can't use the same pesticides or chemicals. Can you comment on this? Is this not a dang
June 8th, 2006Committee meeting
Agriculture committee I have a few more seconds, so I'll ask a general question. How do we strive for this harmonization without giving up our sovereignty? I know it's a philosophical question. Obviously, you're working on that. Could you comment on that, please?
June 8th, 2006Committee meeting
Agriculture committee Thank you, Mr. Atamanenko. Just on a point of clarification, Ms. Dodds, you're talking about the new regulatory regime that was passed in 2002, which is still not in play. Now, as I understand it, it has to be gazetted, and it takes roughly four years plus to run through

Agriculture committee Mr. Atamanenko, you have seven minutes.
June 8th, 2006Committee meeting
The Vice-Chair Bloc
Agriculture committee Thank you very much. I would like to bring this down to the level of the individual farmer, to see specifically how this affects a person. You mentioned initially, Mr. Hepworth, the data package, data requirements specific.... I'm wondering what you are saying here with respect
June 8th, 2006Committee meeting
Agriculture committee Obviously there's been an improvement—that's the impression I'm getting—over the last ten years or so. By having better access to these new products, how much in savings could a farmer...? Maybe, Mr. Bartley, you can give me an idea. In your operation, you're spending so much o
