Thank you, Mr. Chair.
To the member's question, the process we would use as public officers in the agency would be to call the local police authority to assist us in a matter. That could range from many factors, such as if there were a humane transport issue at play. If we moved to actually quarantine a farm and were going to need to detain animals, for example, and we had an uncooperative producer, then we'd need the assistance of the police force to assist us on that matter.
Again that goes to the notion that our staff, inspectors, veterinarians and scientists are not peace officers, as you described in your opener, and don't carry the enforcement authorities and detainment authorities that would be vested with the police authority.
