Mr. Chair, the whole issue of capacity is a major issue this evening. We at one time had capacity. Some of those plants are still there but they are sitting idle. What would the member's view be toward borders opening in the future? How do we ensure that those who now guarantee supply to that plant which is building for this capacity are assured of supply down the road when the border opens? How would the member deal with that issue at that time? They need our over age animals. That is where they have been going for a long time. How would the member propose we deal with that issue to ensure that those plants can keep operating?
