Thank you, Mr. Lauzon.
Before I turn it around to any other member for second questions, I want to ask a few questions of my own.
I am a member of Parliament from Manitoba. I'm getting lots of calls about confusion around rule 2 and the tuberculosis test and the requirement for Manitoba. Specifically, we're still considered somewhat different from the rest of Canada, even though we haven't had a TB outbreak from Riding Mountain in the domestic herd since 2003. We do have a zone set up with aggressive testing in that area. As you mentioned, there are 650 herds getting tested there every year. I have one of those herds that get tested every fall.
My concern is that we are being discriminated against in Manitoba. I want to find out what the CFIA position is and what message you carried forward to USDA when they were developing rule 2.
