§ Mr. SteinbergTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if animal foodstuffs are imported from countries where there are no restrictions on the use of diseased carcases in animal feed.
§ Mr. MacleanWhether or not exporting countries place restrictions on the use of diseased carcases in animal feeding stuffs, our import conditions require, among other things, that animal-based proteins intended for use as animal feeding stuffs undergo pre-export heat treatment. This has to be confirmed by their veterinary authorities and provides the necessary safeguards against the introduction of animal diseases.
