The regulations that apply to the safety, quality, and labelling provisions for food in Canada apply equally domestically and for imported products. On a domestic basis, of course, we are able to actually experience the conditions in our establishments and are able to verify that the reputation Canada has for safety and quality of food is, in great part, because of the efforts of our industry in producing safe, high-quality foods.
For imports, we do have an import regime that focuses on the importer as the responsible party for the imported product. And we have a program that looks at the imported finished product, where we do review the labelling components and the compositional components, but also, of great importance, the safety components of those products. So that does include a comprehensive sampling program that looks at chemical residues, including veterinary drugs and microbial issues that may relate to certain cheese categories. The overall compliance rate of imported cheese products, in particular, is very high.
Now, we also must take into account that the dairy products that are imported into Canada do come from countries that do have effective food safety systems in place. We certainly take that into account when we're identifying and targeting areas for specific attention.
