Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for being here today.
You made a statement on page 6 of your brief. I'm always interested in the words people choose to communicate something. You said that Health Canada was aware of the desire from livestock producers to increase regulatory compliance and that the department was working toward increasing its efforts.
Are you increasing your efforts or are you working toward that? What are you doing with these international standards and international bodies to get alignment of these regulatory requirements? I'm assuming that's part of the way to addressing the backlog in the long term.
