Mr. Speaker, as I said the other day and as I will continue to say, we are certainly not pleased that we have to do what we are doing in order to move to the eradication of a reportable disease in our livestock herd.
It is a reportable disease in the world and it is important that we eliminate it from our livestock herd. When we do so, we compensate the producers for the loss of the animal and we pay for the disposal of the animal.
We are working with the industry to make this as easy as possible for producers. I again ask for the co-operation of the Quebec government in doing so.
