Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of the witnesses for being here.
Thank you, Ms. Mitchell, for being here in person. I'm sorry I'm not there today.
I want to go back to some things that have been stated as fact. My daughter is an equestrian and is familiar with both racetracks and the competitive world.
I do not know of any horse person or horse person who competes who would transport their animal, whether for breeding or competition, according to the standards that are set for both. Obviously they're the same whether it's equestrian or horses being transported for slaughter, but I don't know of anyone like that.
I know you're from both the racetrack and equine sector. I'm wondering whether you have ever heard of someone from that sector transporting three or four horses in a small wooden crate that go for 28 hours without food or water. Could you address that? If you have any anecdotes, that would be great.
That's for either Ms. McLearon or Ms. Curry.
