With regard to CIPARS, I want to make it clear: Chicken Farmers of Canada has worked closely with CIPARS, and CIPARS itself wouldn't come to the same conclusions that Mr. Smith has.
We've gone through this and this connection on ceftiofur in Quebec. CIPARS will admit it has done research at a human level, a retail level, and at a processing level, but to date there has not been any surveillance done on-farm in poultry.
The other thing that is key, and we keep going back to this point, is that because it was withdrawn in Quebec it had a correlation there. The chicken produced on one farm is not necessarily shipped to a processing plant in that province. The chicken from that processing plant in that province is not necessarily shipped to retail stores in that province. There is no causal link. There is a correlation there, but there is not a causal link.
