We included the amendment from the Bloc, which has remained in this new version. I felt it was a good addition, so thank you for that, Mr. Perron.
I did not include Mr. MacGregor's amendment in this bill, because I felt it was already covered. In speaking with our stakeholders and the consultants we worked with on this, I know they felt it was redundant. Whistle-blowers are already protected in the Health of Animals Act. They are protected in the wording of the bill. Whoever is on farm for a lawful reason, including an employee, a farm worker or a farm family member, is already covered in the bill. We didn't feel we needed to re-emphasize that.
