Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Given the minister's admission that the behaviour at Ingham's abattoir was unacceptable and cruel, does the minister now concede that, in order to ensure that humane standards of animal treatment are in place right around the country and to give consumers confidence that the laws are being complied with, he supports constant CCTV monitoring in all abattoirs? Does he think that should be mandated nationally?
