I would turn first to the comment at the beginning, that he didn't, in the report, identify any single smoking gun that is causing these things. I think the phrasing of the excerpt you raised is very carefully chosen. What has been identified in here is clearly that there is a potential.
What the department has done, and is continuing to do, is invest quite substantially in the disease monitoring and surveillance program. We're working very hard to understand the mechanisms of disease in both a wild population and farm populations, and in the interactions. It is an extremely complex field and area of endeavour. There's often a desire to say simply, “Oh, there's complete consensus”, on any one side of this issue. We have not detected consensus and unanimity in the science community on any of these issues.
We are working very hard to ensure that our siting guidelines, our licensing provisions, and our regulatory activities with respect to the farms, our tracking of disease, and our working with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency are all aligned in such a way as to very much address this question and make sure that we continue to expand our understanding of how disease transmission and interaction works, and where necessary, take steps to make sure that, either from a regulatory point of view or an operation we're siting, we minimize any risk from disease.
