Certainly.
The beef industry is strongly supportive of the concept of increased traceability. It's an important pillar in our prevention, along with surveillance and biosecurity for preparing for foreign animal disease.
We have concerns about the feasibility of implementation in the field right now with the available technology. We also have some substantial concerns with regard to the relative cost benefit for what it's going to cost to implement these regulations. Overall, we're supportive of the approach, and we're appreciative of the CFIA's sticking with the cattle implementation plan, which is an industry-designed plan.
Thank you.
