Agriculture committee  It's a great question. I think the first comment would be that biosecurity is not an on-and-off thing. It's a standard that just keeps increasing. The way I operate my farm today is way different from when I started. We always make improvements to biosecurity, and there is a lot of room for research in that area.

Agriculture committee  Good evening. As mentioned, my name is John de Bruyn, chair of Ontario Pork, and I'll be sharing my time with Tara Terpstra, the vice-chair. We're pleased to present to this committee the ongoing activities and investments to improve biosecurity preparedness and prevent the threat of foreign animal diseases—in particular, African swine fever—to the Canadian swine industry, as well as many other hazards to animal and human health.
