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. Banning the export of meat horses would be extremely effective if the federal government would like to again shackle indigenous farmers. For us, the horse meat industry has given us a financial boost to our farming practices as well as the ability to embrace our Métis traditions and culture.
How many members of the Métis Nation across Canada did you consult with before putting this bill forward?
