On the spent fowl issue and diafiltered milk, you're not starting at zero. A tremendous amount of work was done over the last couple of years leading up to the election call and the TPP final negotiations, which put everything on hold. If you check with departments that are around there, they're not starting at zero either.
You're 70 yards down a 100-yard dash, so I would expect that it would not be difficult to put a timeline in place saying where you expect to be by next spring.
