Thank you, Chair.

I'd like to thank the officials for taking time in their day to testify in front of the committee.

We talked about BSE negligible risk status with the minister. I just want to know what it means for Canada's beef and live cattle access to global markets now that Canada is officially recognized by the OIE as a negligible risk country. This new negligible risk BSE status would enable Canada to seek new market opportunities for Canada's cattle and beef exports.

Which ones, and how soon?
