Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Lambert, your document says that “In rare or special circumstances, hens that lay eggs may receive antibiotics approved by Health Canada, but only under the care of a veterinarian”. So it is not the producer who treats the sick animal.
It also says that “eggs produced by hens given antibiotics are not sent to the table egg market”. By “table eggs” do you mean only those eggs that are eaten at the consumer's table, or does that also refer to eggs that are used in the preparation of commercial cakes?
Can you provide us with further details on that?
