Correct.
The U.S. has done two things. First and foremost, at the time of the negotiation of the rule, there was agreement that the TB testing at that time would not be applied to steers or spayed heifers, that they would provide an exemption for those animals and provide exemptions for young animals over five days of age but less than four weeks of age because the test is not an effective intradermal test in that age group of animals.
Subsequent to that, as I say, they did take the decision because...in the original proposal following the rule, they were going to apply it broadly to Manitoba. They agreed to bring it back to the 60-day or direct-origin. And they did inform us over the weekend that they were further reducing the restrictions on TB testing. In fact, sexually intact animals moving to a feedlot in the United States, and then to be slaughtered at less than 30 months of age, now are also exempt. So they've added another category of exemption, and now only sexually intact animals for breeding purposes are subjected to testing.
So the requirements have been reduced over the past 72 hours. We have amended the health certificates and notified industry and accredited vets accordingly.
In parallel, Mr. Mayers and Mr. Prince were in the United States and met with the senior U.S. officials around re-achieving Manitoba's free status. They have made a commitment to us that they have started a review of their CFR-quota federal regulation requirements on TB tests, not just for Canada but for all countries. They anticipate coming forward in 2008 with a revised CFR, and they have committed to us that their review of Manitoba's free status will be expedited in that process.
So we hope that we can continue to bring pressure to bear to have that done as quickly as possible.
