Mr. Chair, I thank my hon. colleague and neighbour from Perth—Middlesex for the question. Regarding the dollars and the need for more slaughter facilities--and hopefully we will have another facility opening shortly in Ontario--the cull cow program that the federal government put in was to address the animal price per head.
I have been speaking with the Ontario provincial agriculture minister and he has indicated that they probably would not share on a sixty-forty split for funding for the cull cow program, but Ontario was looking at opportunities to perhaps put funding toward a slaughter facility. I think it is really important, as the member has indicated, for our dairy industry especially, to meet the need in the killing process.
