Okay.

Ms. Lamothe Boudreau, I am going to come back to you in a moment to talk to you about the 40 queens.

Mr. Doyon, there was talk about getting packages of bees from the United States. As we know, this is illegal at present. Ms. Lamothe Boudreau seems to be saying that with 40 bees in a hive, there might be enough queens in Canada or Quebec.

Do you support this approach, or do you think that it also involves risks? Before you say, would you like the Pest Management Regulatory Agency, the PMRA, to do more research?
