Certainly. Thank you for the question.
As was discussed previously, trespassing legislation provincially is a bit spotty. I think this bill fills a critical gap in that sense. It also raises and elevates the importance of biosecurity as a critical issue for farmers in Canada.
We do feel that this is an issue of national importance and something that Canadians and Canadian farmers need to have in legislation because it touches on things we've talked about here today, like food security issues, production issues, mental health issues, certainly, and international trade implications. There are significant international trade implications associated with biosecurity breaches and outbreaks on farms, which can cost the entire economy and Canadian society millions of dollars.
I think there is quite a compelling case to have this legislation.
