I also have a question for the CFIA.

From your technical understanding of the two different proposals we've had for line 6, if the CFIA is conducting an investigation and believes there has been a contravention of the Health of Animals Act under the new proposed section 9.1, how does the term “with lawful authority or excuse” compare to the term “applicable biosecurity measures”?

How do the differences between that language inform your investigations on the farm?
