I'll continue with that, just for a minute. There's been a lot of discussion around it. In fact, one of our individual witnesses was saying that if you're going to start to take away.... It's becoming easier to get a hospital built than it is to get a slaughterhouse built, if that is in fact a reliable comment—and I think coming from that individual it was a fair assessment. We've heard the stories about why we don't have some of the processors staying in business, and it's that the restrictions are just so high.
We always hear about how we don't have much issue. Most of us around the table here likely buy product that comes from provincial slaughterhouses. So it becomes this issue about feeding the large companies as opposed to shutting down our small community slaughterhouses, which are actually doing a great job and seem to not be caught up in many of these recalls.
Help us understand how we can politically.... As soon as we talk about changing or harmonizing or bringing together a standard that is actually a reliable standard, then the political field starts to go wild about it, saying we're losing our standards and we're not going to protect our farmers, our people.
We have the same trouble when we try to harmonize and talk about imports coming in and having to meet Canadian standards. Those that don't meet it, we've got the issue.... I'll raise that question maybe later.
Can you deal with that other one? How can you help us get through that? It's a big issue.
