Good day.
We're talking basically about the small abattoirs and the small producers in rural parts of Canada. There are a number of things we've tried to do. One of the things they are allowed to do is that if they have enough land on site, they are allowed to bury right on site. They do not need permits to do so. It's deemed to be a very minimal risk. That's why we made that decision.
On the second front, as in some parts of Canada we have small abattoirs where they do not have appropriate land on site on which to bury, we've tried to work with the industry on that aspect. What we've come up with there is a policy where, if they have land not adjacent but non-contiguous to the abattoir, they can also bury or compost that product on site. The only difference is that they would need to have a permit by regulation to do that, but the permit is free of charge. There's no cost for that permit.
On the funding side, basically the only funding I know of is the federal-provincial funding of $131 million, $80 million coming from the Government of Canada. The provinces are using that in various ways across Canada. A lot of them are putting it into the small rural abattoirs, trying to help them as much as they can, and also some of the producers. They're either providing bins for them to do it or they're working with the renderers to try to have it picked up at a decent cost. But outside that, right now that's the only funding I know of that's in place.
