We've always thought that having traceability just shows the control and the concern about the livestock and our herd in this country. It's a foundation; it could be a foundation to make sure that borders stay open, because we all know the downside if borders close.
As long as we want to be export dependent, then I think we should move this forward. I'm that close to using the word “mandatory”, because I believe it could, in the long term, bring value to our product. The issue you have is that if you want to be a leader.... All the pros say that if you can trace back, it will make you a real leader in the world.
In the province of Quebec, they're able to do that under the ATQ. They've made great efforts. Linda and her staff have done a great job. They're able to do that from the calf from seven days, and so on and so forth; I won't go through her presentation again.
As we move forward, I think it might become a reality that it will be a requirement by other countries: if you can't trace it, you can't sell it. We've heard that domestically. The cost of doing it is the inhibiting factor. Today, when you want to compete globally, there is no value in it. The United States, our number one competitor, does not do it, and they're able to sell their meat worldwide. But I think if we want to be a leader, this is where the industry has to move forward and continue to move forward.
Does that answer your question?
