Madam Chair, my questions will be for the Minister of Health, through you. As the critic for agriculture, agri-food and supply management, that is what I will talk about. I will begin with questions about the Pest Management Regulatory Agency. In registering phytosanitary products, people in the sector are hoping for more efficiency and more transparency on the part of the agency. No one doubts the fundamental independence of the agency's scientists, or the precautionary principle, which is incredibly important and must be maintained. However, communication leaves something to be desired. The delays are extremely long. When people in the agricultural sector receive responses, they are extremely short and lacking in detail, which prevents any collaboration and any dialogue. I would like to know how the minister sees the communication between the agency and the stakeholders.

Madam Chair, we know that Health Canada is introducing major regulatory changes under an outdated and broken self-care framework. This has an impact on 54,000 jobs in a $5.5-billion industry. The Canadian Health Food Association has asked for a simple meeting with the Minister of Health, and he refuses to meet with them. Can he explain to them why?
