Mr. Speaker, regarding British pensioners, Canada actually indexed Canadians who are living in the United Kingdom with our requisite social safety and our pensions, so we are not unnecessarily having impacts. It is British pensioners in Canada who are not being indexed. There is, of course, a cost to government in the sense that, if this is something that is not addressed, it could be coming out of our treasury to disproportionately pay. It may be a relatively small amount. I assure the hon. member that this is something that is being raised. This is not a matter of political will to raise the issue and to drive it forward. This is a real sticking point. I raise it on the floor of the House of Commons here to be reasonable about what I see as a pathway that we need to continue to work forward.
Regarding the beef and carcass wash, again, on a technical basis, I would agree with the hon. member. There is no scientific basis for why that should not be accepted. We are pressing, but this is part of the political reality that we have to keep an eye on, including with the European Union.
