In some parts of the world they do enjoy fresh horse meat as a delicacy—sometimes it's consumed raw. It's a cultural thing, and we're not here to pass judgment. Given that this is not about banning the raising of horses for human consumption in Canada, do you think there may be more opportunities to increase local processing and better economic opportunities that result from that in Canada? If we are to ban the export and transportation of live horses, would that give rise to maybe more processing happening in Canada?
