I know there have been lots of conversations throughout the course of this conversation this morning about facts, and science is based on the premise that facts can be presented and interpreted differently. Clearly, there are different interpretations of facts that have been put before us. I completely reject the premise that a fact only must be interpreted in one way. Clearly, as an animal welfare expert, you have expressed a difference of opinion from some of those we've heard from.
Can you share with us, Dr. Watson, in conversations that you've had with your colleagues in Manitoba, across the country, and internationally, the opinions they may have had on this particular piece of legislation? If they are in support of the legislation, how it is that they have come to that conclusion based on the scientific veterinary medical expertise that you have provided here this afternoon?
