Unfortunately, we don't know too much. As you point out and as we heard this morning, the CFIA is certainly at the airport. I've reviewed hundreds if not thousands of pages of ATIP request documents that show what we know about them in transport. If, at the end of the journey, the flight lands and a horse is dead or has collapsed and is still down—of course, we don't know if they collapsed before the end—that information is reported back to the CFIA and we review it.
However, that's about where it ends. As I said, we don't know how long it takes to unload the horses. We don't know how many of them developed some of the illnesses that experts have flagged with this committee—pleuropneumonia, shipping fever, or colic—or how many have their immune or endocrine systems impacted by this journey. We simply don't know.
I agree with you that “expectation” is a very concerning word, because once the horses are in Japan, it's a bit of a black hole.
