Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I'd like to thank Mr. Filiatrault and Mrs. Lamb for being with us.

I will start with you, Mr. Filiatrault. I would like to understand why you favour local abattoirs rather than dealing with other abattoirs. I understand the dynamic you spoke of earlier, that small abattoirs are closer to their producers.

Is that the only reason?
