Thanks very much.

I'd like to continue with the Canadian Federation of Agriculture. I want to make sure I have this right. With the closure of meat processing plants for human safety, I understand there's now a significant backlog of animals. The Canadian Cattlemen's Association mentioned a backlog of 100,000. Presumably in other sectors of livestock there are backlogs as well.

What will happen to these animals?
