I would concur completely with the member that we are seeing a period of heightened stress from a whole variety of sources on our supply chains.
I understand that the committee will be hearing shortly from representatives of the cattle sector, who can offer their perspectives to you first-hand. We've been in active dialogue with them on some of their concerns around feed. I know they've made statements regarding issues at the Canada-U.S. border and, particularly, the Coutts crossing. We have been in active dialogue with them for some time on the Health of Animals Regulations, to which the member referred. My recollection is that the cattle association is undertaking some research to help support that dialogue.
The regulations are the responsibility of the Food Inspection Agency, so I'm reticent to comment in detail. However, the Food Inspection Agency, throughout COVID, has looked for opportunities to show regulatory flexibility, where it can, to alleviate supply chain shortages.
We are in active dialogue with the cattle sector.
