It's definitely possible to do it for red meat because Europe and the United States are doing it with mobile slaughtering and slaughtering in micro abattoirs. It's entirely practicable and possible. It seems exotic as we talk about it here, but we're lagging behind what's going on elsewhere.
With regard to regulations, it's high time we started thinking about models such as these and viewing them as complementing the big abattoirs, which, I repeat, are necessary. We need to find, not our place within the big infrastructure facilities, but our own solutions on our own scale. The same is absolutely true for red meat.
As for repayable assistance, we currently need $500,000 to launch a project such as ours. If we launched 20 projects like it, we could generate economies of scale, and it would cost much less per project.
As regards inspection, if authorization were granted for the facility itself rather than each carcass, we would save even more, and we could more quickly find solutions across the country without putting too much pressure on the resources already deployed by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, the CFIA.
