Agriculture committee  I think you need to remember that we're all family farms, so our children also follow biosecurity. They're trained even at a young age on where they're to go and not to go. Yes, it's to be flexible, because my operation is very different from even my next-door neighbour's or John's.

Agriculture committee  We strongly support the creation and maintenance of the Canadian foot-and-mouth disease vaccine bank. We ask the government and government agencies to remain vigilant with respect to foreign animal disease prevention and preparedness. This includes the Canada Border Services Agency, to enhance preventative measures such as surveillance, awareness and education to all entry points in Canada; the CFIA, to improve the efficiency of screening of imported feed ingredients, and rapid testing protocols and procedures to resolve suspected cases found on our farms; and AAFC, to create a framework to further the investment into biosecurity enhancements and research to be utilized throughout the value chain.
