Thank you, Chair. I'll be splitting my time with Mr. Steinley.

It's fair to say that no one was fully prepared for the COVID-19 pandemic, and now we're hearing about the potential danger of African swine fever to Canadian hogs. I'm just wondering what the department is doing to prevent it from coming to Canada, and if it does come to Canada, what the department's plan is for addressing African swine fever.
