International Trade committee  At the time—and there still are—there were 14 million kilograms of EU quota, so let's call it one million kilograms. One million kilograms out of 14 million kilograms were from the U.K.

International Trade committee  When CETA came into force the U.K. now had access to the CETA quota, and because of that, we were able to meet Canadian consumers' demands for more cheeses from the U.K. The actual import of U.K. cheeses has risen to two million kilograms since that time. Now, because of Brexit, we can't penalize small and medium-sized Canadian businesses or Canadian consumers.

International Trade committee  No, they did not.

International Trade committee  Yes.

International Trade committee  I would say yes.

International Trade committee  Good afternoon. My name is Joe Dal Ferro, and I'm the chair of the International Cheese Council of Canada. I am joined by Helen Dallimore, representing one of our associate members, Coombe Castle. The ICCC was founded in 1976. We are an association of small and medium-sized cheese importers and their suppliers.
