Definitely. I consulted with CCA in moving ahead with this, and this does address those concerns. I strongly feel this is what we need in the industry.
Since the border closure, I don't see any hardship falling upon the meat processing sector. I just don't see that happening. We haven't been bringing in a bunch of cheap Uruguayan beef for the institutional trade.
There are one or two products out there that we don't produce in Canada, or in North America for that matter. But they will have to access some offshore markets. Hopefully they can get those in underneath the current permits of 76,000 tonnes. If they require supplementals and can't access that product here, then in those situations the minister is free to put permits in place for those specialty products.
