Madam Chair, we are always reasonable. This means that several meetings will be needed. Still in the duck industry, it is extremely difficult for our producers to export to Japan, Taiwan and China at this time because of avian flu outbreaks. Producers now have to certify the absence of avian flu in their area. We are currently in a period without any avian flu outbreaks. However, Japan, China and Taiwan, in particular, are requesting documents from the CRA. The CRA has so far refused to provide them. Apparently it considers them too voluminous. It is rather surprising that a Canadian government agency would consider documents too voluminous. Could the government also step in on this? At this time, our producers cannot export their products. Meanwhile, ducks are arriving from Thailand, Hungary and France, and, according to our producers, this is not always done in accordance with our national standards. I would like a brief response from the minister on this.
