We have watched a slow dwindling of the pork industry in our area. We are down considerably from what we used to be.
Given both the European and the Asian appetites for pork, there is an opportunity there. We have some of the finest pork-raising practices in the world.
I would say to you that it's probably easier to get into the House of Commons than it is to get into a pork farm in my area. You have to go through biohazard checks and security. They have all the technology to raise what is, in my understanding, some of the cleanest and healthiest pork.
That industry sure could do with some more markets, and anything we can do to help especially what they call the “cold market” or the “fresh market” would be greatly appreciated and helpful to my region.
