There is definitely a slaughter problem, not only in Quebec, but across Canada. It has to be acknowledged and dealt with through regulation and support, particularly through market access measures. I know there has been a lot of discussion about the code of practice among distributors, processors and buyers—hence retailers. That's what's missing in Canada in my view.
By adopting regulations that are more ethical and equitable for processors, small slaughterhouses would have a chance to survive. For the time being, it's almost impossible for them to compete.
