Madam Chair, I thought I heard my hon. colleague say that he wants us to open up the border to American beef, feeder cattle coming across. I wonder if that is the point he wants to make.
What we should be doing in this case is basing the decisions on science and that is exactly what we have done. What we need to do is to recognize again that this is a North American issue. If the Americans were to look at the science--and I believe they will look at the science because the science is overwhelming--then at that point we should open our border but certainly not before.
