Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Minister, I’m going to talk to you now about the vaccine bank for foot and mouth disease. Our dairy producers and our beef and hog producers are extremely concerned. Indeed, according to discussion papers from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, the vaccine bank, which currently holds approximately 250,000 doses, is woefully understocked, but there still hasn’t been a request for proposals to increase reserves following commitments made last July. We need 30,000 doses. Where are we on that? Can you reassure our producers?
