To be honest, it's the first I've heard of the measure that the Canadian Pork Council is pushing, so I'll have to do my reading and studying of exactly what they're pushing for.

\n

What I can say is that there certainly is competition right now within the marketplace. We have small and medium-sized enterprises across the country, and we have large multinationals. They're all competing on a day-to-day basis. The challenge they're really facing is a shortage of livestock. The competition is extremely fierce, and it is right now benefiting producers, who are making good margins on the livestock that they're selling. You have processors, especially in Quebec right now, who are struggling to get livestock and needing to cut down on jobs and cut down on shifts. It is a challenging period a lot of processors are in right now, especially small and medium-sized enterprises.

Pour \u00eatre honn\u00eate, c'est la premi\u00e8re fois que j'entends parler de la mesure que pr\u00e9conise le Conseil canadien du porc. Je vais donc devoir en lire et en \u00e9tudier la teneur exacte.

Ce que je peux dire, c'est qu'il y a certainement de la concurrence en ce moment sur le march\u00e9. Nous avons des petites et moyennes entreprises partout au pays, ainsi que de grandes multinationales. Elles se font toutes concurrence au quotidien. Le v\u00e9ritable d\u00e9fi auquel elles font face, c'est la p\u00e9nurie de b\u00e9tail. La concurrence est extr\u00eamement f\u00e9roce, et elle profite actuellement aux producteurs, qui r\u00e9alisent de bonnes marges sur le b\u00e9tail qu'ils vendent. Il y a des transformateurs, surtout au Qu\u00e9bec en ce moment, qui ont du mal \u00e0 se procurer du b\u00e9tail et qui doivent r\u00e9duire le nombre d'emplois et de quarts de travail. C'est une p\u00e9riode difficile pour beaucoup de transformateurs \u00e0 l'heure actuelle, surtout dans le cas des petites et moyennes entreprises.
