Thanks, Mr. Chair. I may split my time with my colleagues here. I'll see how fast I can get through.
This is for the CFIA. The avian influenza certainly is a huge issue for chicken producers across the country. In Alberta, we've had some producers who've been waiting for up to two weeks for CFIA to come on farm to depopulate. My understanding is that this should be done within 36 hours to contain the spread of the flu. It is obviously a big concern if we're waiting for up to two weeks.
What steps has CFIA been taking to try to address this situation to ensure we can contain this outbreak?
