Agriculture committee  I can certainly answer that. I'll use Woodbine racetrack as an example because that's the largest one in Canada. Generally, between 15 and 20 horses will come in to race over the course of a racing season. Usually they come in groups of two or three. There are some that come in on private planes.

Agriculture committee  I'd like to thank the committee for inviting me to speak to you today with respect to private member's bill C-355. I'm the president and chair of Racetracks of Canada. We're an industry association that represents the 30 racetracks across this country, including standardbred, thoroughbred and a one-quarter horse track in Ajax.
