Absolutely. I'll start, and I'm going to turn it over to Brad too.
When I talk to my members and I ask them what the thing is that keeps them up at night, it certainly is the possibility of a foot-and-mouth disease incident, an outbreak that could possibly happen. We have seen more outbreaks occurring in Europe, in Greece now, in China, so it is increasing. We know that in Brazil, for example, there hasn't been a recent.... I think it has been 20 years since the CFIA has gone back and reviewed its processes. We know that it isn't as stringent as we are when it comes to these controls. That is, truly, one of the biggest fears: that we import beef and we increase the disease.
The other thing you have to remember is that our neighbours to the south—the U.S. is our biggest market for beef—are also very concerned about these things, and they're watching Canada. We're in a crucial time right now with our CUSMA renegotiation. Anything we might do to possibly cause some concern in our U.S. neighbours is another area that very much concerns us.
As I mentioned, the third piece—and sorry, Brad, now I'm taking over here—is that we have to rebuild our current herd. How are we going to do that if we're continually undercut by this lower-cost beef coming into our country?
Those are our bigger concerns.
Brad, maybe I'll ask you if you want to make some comments on how FMD could potentially impact your farm.
