Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank the witnesses for being here.
I'll start with a question for Mr. Roy, so I can better understand. Of course, I understand what the issue is, but I'm thinking of one aspect in particular.
According to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency regulations, an animal can be transported for up to 36 hours, on average, without giving it water and without stopping. However, a driver has to stop to rest after 13 hours of driving.
With regard to animal health, does the agency foresee the possibility of urgent situations where the 36‑hour limit could not be met?
