Mr. Speaker, my colleague talked about a compensation package offered sheep producers who have problems with scrapie. It seems she suggested that the $600 a head offered in compensation to those sheep producers is not adequate.
As a cattle producer I know that when someone slaughters a cow toward the end of her useful life they may not get much more than $600 for her.
I was wondering if the member could explain what she thought would be reasonable compensation for victims of the scrapie outbreak.
