Thank you.
To Ms. Allan, I don't have a question specifically for the CFIA when it comes to beef reference pricing, because I'm not exactly sure what role the CFIA would play in any adjustment to how our pricing system works.
I will take this opportunity to ask you this. After meeting with the Peterborough County Cattlemen's Association, I learned that one of the struggles they are finding as small producers is the lack of transparency when their cattle leaves the farm and ends up at the processing facilities. When there is condemnation of an animal, they feel very frustrated by the lack of transparency they're experiencing and the substantial financial loss they experience.
