Thank you, Chair.
I only have a few questions.
Early this morning, we heard from Mr. Laws, of the Canadian Meat Council. I asked him questions about a request submitted to the Standing Committee on Finance with regard to a program which will help businesses to transition. Today, we know that things will have to change. And a little earlier, we talked about the drug Ractopamine.
That said, I think that other changes will have to be made in our meat sector, as well as in Canada's cheese sector.
This question is for the Canadian Pork Council. Would you be asking for some kind of aid to help with changes that would need to be made in order to gain access? In my riding, we have a lot of pork farms and they're getting to the point where they need to do renovations, and they need to think long term. Are there any things that might hinder us and any kinds of things, for bien-être animal
we would have to look at moving forward to make sure when we are making a product that we are moving towards acceptability and the demands that the people in the European Union have for our Canadian pork products?
That's for Bill.
