Agriculture committee  Thank you.

Agriculture committee  Thank you, Mr. Barr. Mr. Atamanenko, you have seven minutes, please.

Agriculture committee  Just before we move back to this topic, in British Columbia, for example, the fruit growers are considering anti-dumping regulations for the apples coming in. Who would that go through, or who deals with that? What's the process if, for example, the fruit growers feel there's dumping going on with apples coming into British Columbia?

Agriculture committee  To your knowledge, has this been done recently?

Agriculture committee  Thank you. I guess I still have some time left and can continue.

Agriculture committee  Okay, I'll ask one of the questions I have here in front of me. Since Canada's dairy farmers are responsible for certain costs associated with the storage of skim milk powder, the more imports there are of dairy ingredients that displace skim milk powder, the more farmers' costs increase.

Agriculture committee  The second motion, I'm sorry. Now we have motion number two. Mr. Atamanenko, do you have any points to make on that?

Agriculture committee  There's also an amendment to the second motion that Mr. Easter has, following the same procedure.

Agriculture committee  If the amendment on the motion doesn't pass, we still have a chance to vote for this.

Agriculture committee  Yes.

Agriculture committee  Can I just ask about the procedure? Which is the motion that we vote on? Is it the friendly amendments, or my motion as presented?

Agriculture committee  Thank you, Mr. Anderson. Mr. Atamanenko. No? Mr. Steckle.

Agriculture committee  Thank you, Mr. Bellavance. Mr. Atamanenko, three minutes please.

Agriculture committee  I'll try to be quick this time. Having visited pork slaughterhouses, for example, I understand that there is a national standard when we export out of the country, and that there has to be the same meat standard from each part of the country. Other slaughter facilities that don't export have their own provincial standards, I believe.

Agriculture committee  Okay, thank you.
