Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I would like to revisit the question around the negligible risk status for our country that we received in May of 2021, two years ago. My understanding is that it was because we have not detected any BSE in this country since 2015.
I am wondering why it would affect our trade status, if the animal health organization felt we had negligible risk, if we changed our regulations within Canada. Did half of the reason that we got that status have to do with our regulations, or was it just because we haven't detected any BSE since 2015 in our country?
