Yes, we were.
We had one Zoom meeting that lasted 45 minutes. Prior to the conclusion of that meeting, many members of the AAFC logged off the Zoom call.
I extended an invite to come to our facility in eastern Canada to witness how these horses are raised, how they are transported from the breeders to the feedlots and so on, from here to the airports. They did accept my invitation. However, when it came time to schedule it, everybody's schedules conflicted on their end.
We offered them footage of these horses in flight, to which they responded that they were not able to look at it.
We left that meeting very disheartened. We did not feel that they understood the whole scope of our industry. As I said in our opening statement, 45 minutes is not enough to talk about the impact on the veterinarians, the feed companies, the transportation companies and the staff who work at these facilities.
