Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My thanks to the witnesses for being with us.
I see that you are much of the same mind in terms of local processing.
Mr. Filiatrault, your business model is very interesting. You give priority not only to buying local, but also to selling local as much as possible.
You were talking about the concentration of processing and how it prevents you from having traceability and a certain level of quality control. That is certainly a major issue.
What barriers do you see for small and medium-sized abattoirs? What is preventing businesses like that from starting up?
What can the federal government do about it?
