Madam Speaker, I will try to pick up the pace a bit. I still have a lot of material to get through.
Could the minister tell me how much progress has been made toward the implementation of the DNA testing that was developed by chicken farmers to detect chicken that is brought across the border falsely declared as spent fowl? This has been a problem for several years. The farmers developed the test, and it is effective. It would be very easy for the CFIA to incorporate it at inspection sites. I would like the minister to talk to me about that.
Would it also be possible to endorse these farmers' animal welfare program with CFIA certification? That is something else that might be very easy to do. It is a simple annual audit. This is a request from the industry.
