I can speak specifically to the egg industry.
As a farmer, our first priority is always the care of the hen. It always has been. We are the original animal activists. We're the animal welfare people who want to maintain that our animals are healthy. That's the case for all farmers. I was in pork production before. I have friends in beef production. The number one priority of a farmer is the care of our animals.
In the egg industry we've heard the concerns of the public. Just recently we have a new code of practice that sets guidelines for every farmer across the country on housing standards and those requirements.
What it means is, as Mr. Lambert said, whether you're in Newfoundland or in British Columbia, every farmer is producing to those standards. When you look at those standards, it's not just the farmer groups that sat together. We had the Canadian humane society and the Retail Council of Canada. Several different groups sat down. Scientific research showed how we should be caring for our animals, the concerns of consumers. That was all put together. That's how we follow it.
