It pretty much brought the trade to a standstill, because not every port can handle animal crossings. From here, after Coutts, I think Emerson is the next port from Alberta to Manitoba that live cattle can cross. Then, into B.C., Kingsgate is the next one. Some of these cattle were having to add an extra 12 to 14 hours of transport to go around to the nearest border crossing so that they could to get to a processing plant in the States. It was adding a lot of stress on the animals. It was adding extra time and extra costs to the transportation.
