Thank you, Mr. Chair. You are doing a great job. It's tough to keep us all on track.
Thank you to all the witnesses.
I want to start with Casey Vander Ploeg. Last Friday I was in Arkell, Ontario. We made an announcement, on behalf of Minister MacAulay, with the Canadian Animal Health Coalition, of $1.12 million to go to training and certification for livestock transportation. We looked at emergency management tools and animal care assessment, particularly for chicken farmers. We were working on this coalition that had farmers, producers, and transport people. In their coalition they also have civil society.
Do you have something similar out west that would help us? You said it was very important for ranchers or producers to be part of our discussions. Do you have organizations like that, which we should make sure we include as we go forward?
