Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Just so people at home who are watching this morning know what we are asking in this motion in this study, it's not about changing the amount of time an animal is on a trailer. That's not what this is about. We realize that the safety of animals is paramount to everyone, and I think we all realize that at this committee. The 12 hours, 24 hours, 28 hours, 38 hours are not the issue with the minister right now. What is causing some issues is the electronic logging devices. We learned at the last committee meeting that once those trucks start going six to eight miles per hour, that logging device turns on, and some unforeseen things happen.
During the fall calf run, truck drivers are sitting at stockyards for longer times, and that time is added to their ELDs. What we heard from the transport alliance is that, through the guidelines and through the enforcement, which is done provincially—thank you, Ms. Vanstone; I realize that—there is just a little bit more certainty. When we have a lot of [Inaudible—Editor] around agriculture, they want a little bit more certainty.
Therefore, when we're talking about section 76, they're just asking if the consideration of going over that time could be added into section 76 of the guiding principles so that if an unforeseen situation happens and a driver goes over the time to get their animals to that destination, if they stop, that could be taken into consideration. They're just asking that we add that certainty into that section.
Ms. Vanstone, can you comment on that, please?
