All right. Thank you.
Just to get back to one of the comments Mr. Carr made, he talked about “sentient beings”. I think one of the fears people have is, what would be next? If we go after what people decide to eat, are cattle next? Are hogs next? Are chickens next? I think some of these stakeholders have a fear that it's a slippery slope. They have real concerns about where we're going right now. That would be their concern.
I'll end with this. When you talked to the FCC, have they confirmed....? I ask because they do have direct borrowers who are horse breeders—40% of whom are indigenous, I might add. My questions is this. Farm Credit Canada has confirmed that their clients who operate in the horse industry have borrowed since 2008. If people's livelihoods are prohibited by this law and it is carried through, the FCC could be considered a public expense if they no longer are able to pay their debts.
How much money would taxpayers be on the hook for, having to pay out these horse breeders, if this bill goes forward? What is the cost to the Canadian taxpayer?
