I'll deal with what the industry is doing right now to increase expansion.
I have to commend the government, actually, because it's been quite supportive in the past couple of years in helping us unroll programs for producers. So we've been able to develop tools producers can use to understand their costs of production.
One of the issues we're dealing with when we talk about expanding flocks is that we have to talk about not only more ewes on the farm but getting more lambs off the farm. So if you're lambing out 1.8%, you're marketing the same amount of lambs that you're lambing out. We've done cost-of-production templates. We're using pilot projects for RFID to help producers identify where they're having profit leakages on their farms and where they can expand production. Support for that project specifically has come out of AAFC in the Growing Forward program. We have done our scrapie genotyping program as well, which is adding credibility to our genetics. I'll keep that brief there.
In terms of the medication, the impact it's having is that when producers do not have access to medication and they have to bring in veterinarians in order to have prescriptions, it increases their cost of production. In our situation currently, we're losing critical mass, so we're actually losing veterinary knowledge on what drugs are supposed to be used. It's not only an access-to-medication issue; it's a knowledge issue. We don't have enough veterinarians who are specializing in small ruminant production. We've actually heard of cases where producers are researching products on the Internet and trying to bring those products into the country under own-use importation. It just becomes an issue of food safety protocol.
