There may be some restrictions on the movement of certain species. I recall a few years ago I was in the Rainy River area in northwestern Ontario. There was an elk producer there who was wanting to have his animals killed at a federally inspected facility, which was located in the Winnipeg area. However, he was not allowed to transport those live animals across the provincial border because of some disease regulations that were in place, even though it was a closed truck that they were hauled in.
Things like that are somewhat frustrating. We had a producer who had a market, provided he could get a federal stamp on it, but he couldn't haul the animals to the closest federal plant.
For some species there are regulations. That's why I think there needs to be a lot of work done on identifying the specific regulations that are causing the problems, whether it be regulations around trucking, around disease, around the provincial inspection, or around processing plants, things like that, so that you can really target in. It's very easy to just generalize and say the regulations are the problem. Well, unless you get down to which regulation is the problem and how it can be fixed, it doesn't go anywhere.
I think several of you had suggested, on the provincial inspection thing, that this is what has to be looked at—what the differences are, and why we can't bring these in line so that the retail sector has the confidence to accept these products and the provinces have the confidence, between their own provincial inspection systems, to allow the shipment of product back and forth.
