Thank you, Mr. Chair. I want to ask a couple of quick questions.
To Dr. Evans, about this last BSE cow in southern B.C. that we had, I was a little concerned that she doesn't seem to have any connection to the previous BSE cases in Alberta at all, to contaminated feed. Was there any linkage there at all, or what do you think is the source of the infection?
Second, we talked this morning with the minister about competitiveness and the approval of animal health products, the timeframe that's taken to get equal footing with animal health products in Canada versus other places in the world. Own-use import permits is the way we've been managing that, but what else are we doing to expedite that?
The third question I had was on the bluetongue/anaplasmosis. I can't believe we still haven't reached a final decision on this. It's something that's been on the table for the last 15 years. The Canadian Cattlemen's Association and other organizations have been advocating on that. I'm wondering why it's taking so long to come to a decision to move forward on that?
