Thank you.
You may know that one of the priorities of Minister Bibeau and his provincial and territorial counterparts is facilitating internal trade, particularly for slaughter activities.
In keeping with the Guelph Statement, one of the priorities we need to work on is drafting a report on progress. The report will be sent to the minister in July.
We have had many discussions with several provinces to introduce pilot projects and explore the opportunities available to us, particularly with respect to slaughterhouse capacity in communities located near the border between two provinces.
I think that by July, we will have made more progress to report on with respect to this important issue.
