A young woman of Asian descent stands smiling in a blue V-neck t-shirt among grape vines on a vineyard owned by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. It is a warm, sunny summer day; the colours are vibrant and there is a light haze to the air. With distant mountains and a trace of the ocean in the background, the woman is visible from the torso up, framed by vine leaves in the foreground, one of which she reaches out to inspect.
