On behalf of Peace Country beekeepers as well as beekeepers across the country, I want to thank the department for its proactive partnership in this.
There is a technical aspect to this in terms of expanding the current facility. I believe Ag Canada has a policy that any structure not owned by it but placed on its land needs to be considered a temporary building.
I think right now discussions regarding when a facility is no longer considered temporary are getting locked down. To actually address the growing demand on the facility, it would probably require an expansion to double or quadruple its size, so we're sensing that some technical aspects might need to be worked out. We look to you and encourage you to maybe find a technical solution.
