Okay, thank you.
Ms. Barnes, the other day I met with some goose farmers who told me that they have had issues with respect to inspection at some federally regulated abattoirs. It seems that it often varies depending on who is working at the time. The extent of the requirements and the amount of “zeal” can vary greatly.
Are you aware of such practices? Do you have a policy to ensure consistency with the requirements so that they remain reasonable? Could it be that practices that have been accepted for two, three or four years are no longer good all of a sudden? Are you aware of any such examples?
