Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all our witnesses, who have provided some great testimony here this afternoon.
I'm going to start with the Canadian Cattlemen's Association. You certainly, in your opening remarks, were talking about capacity in eastern Canada. Specifically in my neck of the woods, in Nova Scotia and the maritime provinces, our livestock producing and processing capability is largely at the provincial level, 100%. We heard from our Margie Lamb from the pork council of Nova Scotia earlier in this study about some of the challenges they have. We have Atlantic Beef in Prince Edward Island, a federally regulated slaughterhouse.
Can you elaborate, in terms of your membership in that area, on the need to grow processing and what it could mean to driving that industry in our part of the country?
