Agriculture committee  It is less than 1%. How many stakeholders did you consult with? Have you consulted with the CFIA, yes or no?

Agriculture committee  Have you consulted with the Canada Border Services Agency?

Agriculture committee  What about the Air Line Pilots Association?

Agriculture committee  You reached out, so have you consulted with them?

Agriculture committee  You have not. For the CBSA, you've reached out, but have they answered back?

Agriculture committee  About close to half of the breeders for.... You said this is a minor industry. It's minor maybe for you, but not for the folks who are actually in this industry. It's actually a massive part of their livelihood. I want to read a portion of a letter from members of the Métis Nation of Alberta, which reads, There has been no consultation with indigenous producers and people on the plan to ban the export of live horses.

Agriculture committee  How many of them were supportive of this bill?

Agriculture committee  This is a significant part of the industry. You mention the Amish horses in your riding. What do the owners of those horses do at the end of the lifespan of the horses?

Agriculture committee  What is the percentage of the population, globally, that still relies on horsemeat as a key part of its protein diet?

Agriculture committee  It's 16%. In your bill, you're worried about the time that horses are transported by air. Do you know the hours that we're allowed to transport cattle in Canada?

Agriculture committee  It's 33. How many hours of air transport for horses does the law allow?

Agriculture committee  Thanks, Mr. Chair. Mr. Louis, thanks for your presentation. Can you tell me what current regulations or laws, in the Health of Animals Act or the Live Animals Regulations of the International Air Transport Association, the current shippers and exporters are breaking?

Agriculture committee  That's because they're breaking none of the current laws. In fact, they are exceeding them quite handily. Do you know the International Air Transport Association regulations on the size of the crates animals, horses specifically, should have in air transportation? Do you know the size of those crates under the IATA regulations?

Agriculture committee  In fact, the regulations for the IATA require a 1,300-pound horse to have about 14.2 square feet. Currently, the transportation crates used by Canada are almost twice that much at 22.85 square feet, so this is actually exceeding international rules. Is the Canadian Food Inspection Agency present to inspect each load of horses before transportation?

Agriculture committee  On that same theme, I don't know if you've had those conversations, but in some of the work that you do you say you're trying to promote that competition, which is critical. Do other companies look at the landscape in Canada in terms of front-of-pack labelling changes, P2 plastic bans, carbon taxes?
