Yes, I did mention in the presentation that there is no premium for food safety. That's why we're here today: to make sure we continue some of the good work we've done. The Canadian On-Farm Food Safety Working Group worked with commodity organizations to establish food safety protocols, auditable protocols, for some commodities that were able to do it. Not all commodities have finished that work. We would like to see some process in place that enables that to continue, so more commodities can be brought into that work.
The other thing you mentioned was on the specified risk materials. That is something in modern-day agriculture that we do have to remove. We have to do it for the market as much as for the emergency management of it. And yet there is science there that will enable those specified risk materials to be used to produce energy. That's being done in western Ontario. We're a couple of months, weeks maybe, away from finalizing that.
Government support for those kinds of programs will subsidize the cost to the farmer of getting rid of those animals because now there's a benefit to the dead-stock collector to actually pick up that animal. We don't have any leather industry in this country anymore. We can't use dead stock to make animal food because of the specified risk materials in it. There is no market. Here's where government can help with getting the new science in place and enable farmers to ship their dead animals without it costing them more sometimes than it would to ship a live animal. It's government support in the interim until we get that science in place.
