Mr. Speaker, the reality is that actions have been taken. For instance, the Canadian Dairy Commission has provided a $5 increase in the price of milk, a portion of which has been allocated to deal with the issue of older animals.
Second, in the contemplated rule change that the U.S. has put forward, the ability to ship meat from older animals is one of the considerations and this would have a positive impact.
Finally, as the hon. member knows, we have been working very closely with the officials in the province of Quebec to determine what additional measures would be in order.
