It seems to me that they ought to be able to part with at least some of them for some of the housing crisis problems we have in Indian country.
It seems to me that it should not be rocket science to figure out a monitoring system.
And that self-verification is indeed what we do in many other labeling circumstances, whether it is school lunch programs and all kinds of other things, Black Angus, you name it.
I would hope that our USDA will be very aggressive in working with Canada in that regard.
