Actually, on interprovincial trade, if one province has an advantage over another, it becomes a real problem.
Welcome again to our witnesses. There are a couple of issues that I have questions on. The first one is on the red meat sector.
I listened very carefully to what you had to say about the challenges you face. I don't think I ever really thought about eliminating the provincial inspection system and allowing the federal inspection system to simply be the primary system for the entire country—and, obviously, upgrading the skills, if need be, of the provincial inspectors and putting them in. There is also the fact that provincial inspection has been free, so you can understand why a number of processors are clinging to it. Quite frankly, at least in my opinion, it's a reasonable process, although if we ever get there it would be challenging. But it's probably the direction we need to go in.
My question is what about personal use? I assume we would still need to allow that. And what about farm gate sales? Right now there are always some farm gate sales, whether of beef, pork, or lamb. I assume there would still be room to allow that.
