However, as we know, one of the major obstacles to growth, especially in the agricultural and agri-food sectors, is the accumulation and rigidity of regulations and requirements, as well as service delays.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8905694\" data-originallang=\"fr\">In July, we asked all departments to undertake a major review to reduce red tape, eliminate duplication and improve services. The progress report was tabled in September by all departments.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8905695\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We really want to hear feedback from representatives of the Food Inspection Agency and the Pest Management Regulatory Agency. The changes that were listed earlier with respect to regulations in all sectors, whether it be harmonization, technology registration or new products approved in a trading country, such as the United States or Australia, or in Europe, are already in the progress report.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8905696\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The question I really want to ask all the witnesses is this: Is it ambitious enough?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8905697\" data-originallang=\"fr\">If not, can you tell us where it is not ambitious enough? I would like to hear your comments, one at a time. If you do not have time to answer my questions, I would ask you to submit your response in writing to tell us where federal agencies and departments should be more ambitious in this process.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8905698\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> I would first like to hear Mr. Laycraft's response. Then Mr. Duyvelshoff and the witnesses participating by video conference can answer my questions.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8905691\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Merci beaucoup, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8905692\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je remercie les t\u00e9moins de leur pr\u00e9sence.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8905693\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Notre gouvernement a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9lu pour b\u00e2tir une \u00e9conomie canadienne forte. Toutefois, comme on le sait, un des obstacles importants \u00e0 la croissance, surtout dans les secteurs agricole et agroalimentaire, est l'accumulation et la rigidit\u00e9 des r\u00e8glements et des exigences ainsi que les d\u00e9lais de service.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8905694\" data-originallang=\"fr\">En juillet, nous avons demand\u00e9 \u00e0 tous les minist\u00e8res d'entamer un examen important pour r\u00e9duire la paperasserie, \u00e9liminer les chevauchements et am\u00e9liorer les services. Le rapport d'\u00e9tape a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9pos\u00e9 en septembre par tous les minist\u00e8res.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8905695\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Nous voulons vraiment entendre les commentaires des repr\u00e9sentants de l'Agence d'inspection des aliments et de l'Agence de r\u00e9glementation de la lutte antiparasitaire. Les changements qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9num\u00e9r\u00e9s tout \u00e0 l'heure en ce qui a trait aux r\u00e8glements dans tous les secteurs, qu'il s'agisse de l'harmonisation, de l'homologation des technologies ou des nouveaux produits approuv\u00e9s dans un pays commercial, comme les \u00c9tats\u2011Unis ou l'Australie, ou en Europe, se trouvent d\u00e9j\u00e0 dans le rapport d'\u00e9tape.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8905696\" data-originallang=\"fr\">La question que je veux vraiment poser \u00e0 tous les t\u00e9moins est la suivante: est-ce assez ambitieux?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8905697\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Si ce n'est pas le cas, pouvez-vous nous dire o\u00f9 ce n'est pas assez ambitieux? J'aimerais entendre vos commentaires, \u00e0 tour de r\u00f4le. Si vous n'avez pas le temps de r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 mes questions, je vous demande de soumettre votre r\u00e9ponse par \u00e9crit pour nous dire o\u00f9 les agences et les minist\u00e8res f\u00e9d\u00e9raux devraient \u00eatre plus ambitieux dans le cadre de ce processus.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8905698\" data-originallang=\"fr\">J'aimerais d'abord entendre la r\u00e9ponse de M. Laycraft. Ensuite, M. Duyvelshoff et les t\u00e9moins qui participent par vid\u00e9oconf\u00e9rence pourront r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 mes questions.</p>"
