Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks to Mr. Maguire for bringing this to our attention and for coming here to represent his constituents in Manitoba. I'm a former Manitoban myself; I moved to Ontario about 25 years ago, so I have a bit of a Manitoba and an Ontario focus.

Is OMAFRA dealing with the outbreak in Ontario, where the numbers have been higher? Is there some learning from Ontario being applied to Manitoba? What's CFIA's role in trying to look at the different provincial approaches being taken to this disease?
