Mr. Speaker, I think the word is farce, not force.
The Minister of Agriculture announced today that he anticipates the American border will remain closed to beef exports for at least another week. The original cow has been slaughtered, the renderings have been trapped and removed from the system, the original birthplace herd has been depopulated and is being tested, cows from the trace out have been destroyed and feed mills have been cleared.
What else must occur before the U.S. will be satisfied that the disease has been contained and eradicated?
