Thank you very much.
Mr. Laskowski, as this committee is about the red meat supply chain, I want to talk to you about the importance your industry plays in that supply chain.
Unfortunately, I think that oftentimes industry doesn't do a great job of simplifying and explaining what they do and some of the best practices that are taken. Often people who are calling for more, not only from producers but your industry, use words like “biosecurity”, and other words that sometimes serve to confuse Canadians. Can you talk about that from a more practical position?
I'd like you to mention two things. One is the role that the increased penalties that our government has put in place will play. We're not just walking the talk, we're actually taking real action, which is important. Two is some of the best practices used by your industry, both right now on some of the advancements that have been made, but also what you see happening into the future as well. I think there's some good news to be had out of this.
