Yes, thank you.
That really has been our point, because we ran into that situation specifically in eggs and some of the other sectors in 2004 with avian influenza in B.C., where the Health of Animals Act can cover only for the value of the animal. Specifically in egg production, we really appreciate that, but a much bigger portion of it is if you have a big disaster like that, it's difficult to find replacement stock because producers in Canada and the U.S. generally do not produce replacement stock on speculation. So there's that factor.
The other thing is, in order to meet the market demands, you can't have all your eggs being the same size all the time. For example, if the whole flock in the Fraser Valley in B.C. changed at once, all the stores would have available in the first few weeks would be small and medium-sized eggs. We want a cross section of sizes all year, so you have to time the replacement. There's a cost to all of that.
That's why we're asking the question about the disaster portion of BRM, because we were told the Health of Animals Act is only eggs, which is limited. So yes, that's why we need clear rules on what that program's going to be.
