Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

Thank you so much, Minister, for joining us again and answering our questions about the main estimates.

I will be sharing my time with my colleague Mr. Louis.

I have a couple of questions to do with what's happening with avian influenza and canola, and globally as well.

First, avian influenza has been reported in many countries—in Asia, in Europe and closer to us in the United States—and in seven of our provinces. I'm wondering if you could explain what happens when the flock of a farm is infected and whether the producers in this case are losing everything.
