I attended a meeting where Minister Strahl and Secretary Johanns, the Secretary of Agriculture in the United States, met, and one of the key points they discussed was BSE. A very interesting point that they both stressed in the course of that discussion was the importance of science in the decision-making on both sides of the border.
The secretary was quite complimentary about the speed with which Canadian authorities identified a problem and were able to isolate the nature of the problem using scientific methods, and he made the point that this sort of response allows us to keep open the borders as effectively as we can.
I think you're aware that there is a distinction between cattle under 30 months and cattle over 30 months. That has not been resolved--cattle over 30 months--and that trade is not taking place at this point. But we're hopeful that it will change shortly.
