We currently have two choices in terms of transportation training. There is the American training, TQA or Transport Quality Assurance, which is very good. In Canada, there is also the Canadian Livestock Transport certification program. These two programs focus on animal well-being. They cover various aspects, such as procedures in the event of an accident, as well as legislation. Transporting animals is all well and good, but you have to know the laws in order to comply with them. Increasingly, meat processing plants are requiring that we take that training, since there is a demand from their clients, to whom animal welfare is very important. So the plants require the transporters to be trained.
