Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here today. I sincerely apologize for not being able to attend the meeting in person.
The witnesses' expertise is very important. I especially want to extend my warm regards to Ms. Ireland, who often takes part in our meetings and has become a friend to the committee.
I have some questions about the transport conditions. I don't know which of the witnesses is in the best position to answer them.
Are the conditions for transporting horses exported for slaughter really different from those of horses that are transported by air for other purposes?
