Thank you. I'm going to split my time, if possible, with Mr. Anderson.
I would just like to hear a few comments on progress made towards a national meat strategy or meat code. I think we can all agree that if we had had something in place at the time of the BSE crisis, the impact wouldn't have been so bad.
There are problems around the country, particularly in my part of Ontario, to do with the deadstock industry--rendering and what have you--and I'd like to hear your comments on whether there are any new ways we can deal with that part.
