Right. You're trying to be proactive and have the research and science done beforehand. That makes sense.
You mentioned in your comments that Lacombe is Canada's only functioning meat quality and grading program. We've heard from previous witnesses, including some of the deans of the agricultural universities in Canada and some research experts, that this research can't be transferred. This is not as easy as moving A to B, especially if they're talking about moving or transferring this research to somewhere else. They've also included closing two other beef research centres.
Can you comment on the impact that losing this specific research centre in Lacombe will have on the beef industry? Is it correct to say that this research and innovation is not easily transferred from one location to another?
