I want to thank Minister Gill and Minister Thompson for joining me at the food terminal in Etobicoke–Lakeshore for your announcement this morning. Thank you for coming to the great riding of Etobicoke–Lakeshore.
My question is around animal health preparedness and what the minister was talking about with veterinarians. With my vet bills, I might as well have a whole farm, because my dog is at the vet so often. When you are talking with veterinarians—I’m just wondering if you are planning on doing some consultations. And what do we plan on getting out of the consultations, if there are any? What I’ve been hearing is that there are not a lot of vets. We’re lacking veterinarians, and we’re also lacking vet techs. Will these consultations and these changes help get more people into that field?
