Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for taking the time to be with us today. We appreciate it.
I have a lot of questions. I would therefore ask them to provide brief answers, if possible.
Ms. Allan, you said there were no labelling issues. You're saying that the CFIA has no role to play in this, because it's not a food safety issue.
If the spent hens entering Canada are labelled as spent hens and they turn into broiler chickens once they cross the border, that's a labelling issue, in my opinion. It seems to me that something's not working.
For example, there would be a problem if this product were recalled in the United States for food safety reasons. If the label has been changed so that spent hens can be sold illegally as chicken, we wouldn't be able to locate them.
