Thank you very much for the question.
I think we're very well prepared. As we described in the opening comments, the CFIA has worked extensively with other federal departments and with industry and governments to ready ourselves to be prepared for an incursion and to prevent an incursion of a foreign animal disease. We continue to do that with avian influenza and we do that with foot-and-mouth disease, as well as with many other diseases that can enter the country, including African swine fever.
That includes helping to develop national biosecurity standards. That means strong import controls to prevent infected products or animals from coming into the country and having response plans ready in case they do. Those are our hazard-specific plans.
We need to continue to establish or monitor the global events and trends. What are the diseases we're seeing emerge? Where are they? They inform our policy, they inform our regulatory approach and they inform our import controls.
