Another part of the minister's mandate letter was to ban the live export of horses for slaughter.
I've received a lot of correspondence on this issue over the years. It's not only in my riding, but across the country. Many Canadians are concerned with this practice.
The mandate letter is starting to show a bit of age, now that we're in March 2022. Can you provide our committee with an update on how the department is moving ahead with that particular directive?
