Mr. Chair, we have no plan so far to deal with the cull cows. We have no new slaughter facilities. We have no feed regulations dealing with rendered feed. We have no investigation of the packers. And our borders are still closed.
The question I want to ask of the minister is this. On the new compensation plan, the packers are now lowering their prices by 10¢ to 20¢ per pound and the farmers are coming in and losing that money. I want to know what the minister is doing to ensure that the money is going to end up in the producer's hands, not in the packer's as it did in the last program.
