I'm hopeful that it will get cleared up and we will see legislation coming forward. I know it sometimes takes a long time to get things done in politics, especially when you're in opposition or the third party. I'm really hopeful and I think all the members of this committee will agree. We've written letters to the Minister of Agriculture. We've written letters to the Minister of Innovation—sadly, with no response. Maybe we'll be talking about that in our 15 minutes at the end of committee today.
Mr. White and Mr. Davidson, in my riding I have Atrahan and Aliments. They have made investments. Currently we're slaughtering and transforming one million pork a year, and in 2020 we will be doing two million. One issue that is brought up quite often is they have trouble with finding people to work. Can you speak about some solutions? I would like to have your input on that.
I know that in areas across Canada, too, the slaughter capacity is an issue. Sometimes the distance those animals have to travel is quite long. Can you talk about Canada's slaughtering and processing capacity? These trade agreements are great, but do we have the infrastructure necessary?
