In conclusion, the Alberta chicken industry, and by extension, the Canadian chicken industry continues to be a significant contributor to the Canadian agricultural industry.
We are an agricultural community that is continually innovating and investing to grow our industry and evolving our system to meet the changing world requirements and consumer demands. Even though it will be a hard hit for us, we do support the way it is, and feel that it's critical. We support a rules-based and enforced trading system, and call upon the government to re-establish the integrity of import controls and trading agreements by eliminating the import circumvention practices so we can fully seize the growth opportunities that we see coming.
Thank you.
