Bob Zimmer at the Agriculture and Agri-Food Committee

Thank you, Chair.

Thanks to everybody for coming today.

My questions are for Robin and Tim.

My parents grew up on farms, one in Manitoba and one in B.C. They had chickens, cows, and all that. One thing my parents taught me was that healthy animals produced more milk, better eggs and more of them.

I guess what most Canadians want to know when they get that egg, chicken, or whatever, that it's healthy at the point of production. Please confirm if there is an economic benefit to having a healthy animal at the time of production.
