I may hand it over, but I'll do a couple of....
Just before we get going, I know Larry mentioned the extremists. I think most Canadians would probably want animals to be treated in a humane way. I think if supermarkets are reacting there must be a reaction among the consumers; otherwise they wouldn't be doing it. We can debate that at some point in time.
I just have a specific question in regard to transport times. Anybody can weigh in on this. As far as I know, in Canada, pigs, horses, and poultry can be transported for up to 36 hours without food, water, or being unloaded to rest. Cattle, sheep, and goats can be transported for up to 52 hours. In Europe, most species are not permitted to be transported for more than 8 hours.
I'd just like some comments. Is that realistic for Canada? Should there be a compromise? I know we've been looking to try to change that.
Maybe we could start with you, Mr. Laskowski.
