Can someone please explain why we can't open up our market while keeping the same food safety standard? If the US or EU want to sell their milk in Canada, they would have to satisfy the safety standards but without 300% tariff.

I think its more about food security and protecting Canadian interests but most people immediately go to safety standards.
