I'm starting right now, Mr. Chair. Thank you very much.
My first question would be for Mr. Curran. It's along the same lines as my colleague, Mr. MacGregor, on the processing capacity of livestock in Alberta. With just two major plants and the safety concerns around what happened during COVID-19.... These plants shut down, which backlogged a lot of livestock producers and made everything take longer, from feed livestock to basically having to wait a little bit for a fall calf run.
Is there a look, in Alberta and across western Canada, towards bringing in medium-sized processing facilities and trying to encourage some diversification? In your opinion, what would be some of the impediments—which this study is supposed to undertake—to encouraging some of the medium-sized processing facilities to be set up?
