That, of course, has an eight-kilometre range that is taken into account.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3926231\" data-originallang=\"en\">So far, the testing is ongoing. We are working with industry right now. They will begin putting birds down in those affected barns very soon.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3926232\" data-originallang=\"en\">When it comes to compensation, of course, that was all redone some two years ago, so farmers know exactly what they will be compensated, per bird, and we will certainly honour that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3926233\" data-originallang=\"en\">This is totally unlike what happened in 2004, when the Liberals at that time let this just run like a prairie fire up through that Fraser Valley. Not this time.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3926230\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, comme on le sait, des cas de grippe aviaire ont \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9tect\u00e9s il y a quelques jours dans quatre fermes de la vall\u00e9e du Fraser, qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 mises en quarantaine. Ces mesures ont \u00e9t\u00e9 prises dans un rayon de huit kilom\u00e8tres des exploitations.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3926231\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous effectuons des tests et travaillons avec l'industrie en ce moment. Les volailles infect\u00e9es seront abattues sous peu.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3926232\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pour ce qui est d'indemniser les agriculteurs touch\u00e9s, les montants ont \u00e9t\u00e9 fix\u00e9s il y a environ deux ans. Les agriculteurs savent donc exactement ce qu'ils recevront par animal, et nous respecterons cet engagement. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3926233\" data-originallang=\"en\">C'est tout le contraire de ce qui s'est pass\u00e9 en 2004, lorsque les lib\u00e9raux ont laiss\u00e9 cette \u00e9pid\u00e9mie se r\u00e9pandre comme une tra\u00een\u00e9e de poudre dans toute la vall\u00e9e du Fraser. Pas cette fois-ci.</p>"
