Thank you very much for sharing your time, MP Longfield. I really appreciate that.
Minister Bibeau, I have a quick question about the regulations for abattoirs and meat-processing plants. When they were changed by the previous Conservative government, they were really meant for large corporations. Small companies that did meat-processing on Vancouver Island shut down because a 10,000-foot abattoir had to have a separate washroom and an office for the meat inspector. Spending $200,000 on a small abattoir wasn't feasible for them.
I'm wondering whether you would consider changes to the regulations to allow for more small regional operations, to make it more effective for them to do that.
