Madam Clerk, can we follow up with him to get that report? That would be hugely beneficial to the committee.
When I talk to ranchers and farmers, production capacity is one of the biggest issues they bring up, and the lack thereof or the fact that we only have two facilities in Alberta and one in Ontario to process. There are smaller provincial abattoirs, but at the end of the day, when we look at the federal side of things, we see that we only have the two main locations out west. Throughout the pandemic, we saw staffing shortages, all kinds of issues trying to maintain, let alone increase, production capacity.
When I see that we spend $77.5 million to maintain and increase capacity, and I'm hearing from the department that we don't have an answer as to if we're able to do either....
Were we able to maintain anything, even? Again, all I saw in the news was that there were shortages all across the board.
