"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7376343\" data-originallang=\"en\">Right now the biggest issue is trying to find people to drive. There have been some changes in the transport regulations in regard to transporting livestock across the country. That's another thing that's not understood about our industry: that there is continual movement of cattle from one end of the country to the other, and from north to south with our American neighbours. Labour is our biggest issue right now, as I think it is with every other industry in this country. We just cannot find drivers. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7376344\" data-originallang=\"en\">We are currently going into our fall season, which is extremely busy for trucking. Our calves go to market, and then they are distributed to those people who will continue to feed them. It takes a lot of trucking, and we're up against not having enough. At the end, it can result in an animal welfare issue. We cannot have those cattle standing at auction markets for days; they need to be moving.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7376345\" data-originallang=\"en\">Labour is such a big issue for everybody, and nobody seems to have a good answer about how we're going to solve that.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7376343\" data-originallang=\"en\">\u00c0 l'heure actuelle, le plus gros probl\u00e8me est de trouver des gens pour conduire. Des changements ont \u00e9t\u00e9 apport\u00e9s \u00e0 la r\u00e9glementation sur le transport du b\u00e9tail d'un bout \u00e0 l'autre du pays. Voil\u00e0 encore une chose que l'on ne comprend pas au sujet de notre industrie, \u00e0 savoir qu'il y a un mouvement continu du b\u00e9tail d'un bout \u00e0 l'autre du pays, et du nord au sud avec nos voisins am\u00e9ricains. La main-d'\u0153uvre est notre plus gros probl\u00e8me \u00e0 l'heure actuelle, comme c'est le cas je crois pour toutes les autres industries du pays. Nous ne trouvons tout simplement pas de chauffeurs. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7376344\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous entrons actuellement dans la saison automnale, qui est extr\u00eamement occup\u00e9e pour le camionnage. Nos veaux sont mis sur le march\u00e9, puis ils sont distribu\u00e9s \u00e0 ceux qui continueront \u00e0 les nourrir. Il faut beaucoup de camionnage, et nous sommes confront\u00e9s \u00e0 une p\u00e9nurie en la mati\u00e8re. Au bout du compte, cela peut entra\u00eener un probl\u00e8me de bien-\u00eatre des animaux. Nous ne pouvons pas laisser ces bovins aux march\u00e9s en vif pendant des jours; il faut qu'ils soient transport\u00e9s.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7376345\" data-originallang=\"en\">La main-d'\u0153uvre est une question tellement importante pour tout le monde, et personne ne semble avoir une solution satisfaisante pour r\u00e9gler le probl\u00e8me.</p>"
