As the cutbacks happened, it tended to be the Ontario hogs that would be cut back first, or in conjunction with Quebec hogs. That would force Ontario hogs west or south to alternative markets, increasing transport costs and generally meaning less returns for those hogs.</p>",

Quand les diminutions ont d\u00e9but\u00e9, ce sont les porcs ontariens qui avaient tendance \u00e0 \u00eatre touch\u00e9s en premier, ou en m\u00eame temps que les porcs qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois. La situation a forc\u00e9 les producteurs ontariens \u00e0 se tourner vers d'autres march\u00e9s \u00e0 l'ouest ou au sud, ce qui a fait augmenter les co\u00fbts de transport et, en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral, r\u00e9duit la rentabilit\u00e9 des animaux.</p>"
