Mr. Lumby, who was on the panel before you, said that there was potential with this test. In fact, he said that, when importers in Canada and those in the United States who are illegally mislabelling chicken heard that Canada was looking at this DNA test, it was a significant deterrent. That's without us even doing it.
Wasn't there potential there to at least see this through until the end and to see what would happen as a result? Clearly, you're saying that everything is improving, but we have a 25% increase in the amount of spent fowl and mislabelled chicken coming into Canada, and 115% of the entire slaughter in the United States is being imported into Canada.
Excuse me, but this doesn't sound like success to me. If there are some options or tools to add to your tool box, I don't see why we aren't following that path.
