| Message | Why is #3 ok, but not #1. Reason for both is to bring the accountability closer to home, so if there is a problem it will get fixed quickly. |

| Message | This is basically saying... Ok here in this province its ok to use meet straight off the cow we don't check for any diseases while other extensively checks. It would be easier for the national govt to just say all provnices shall check for mad cow disease or something |

| Message | As do we, if a province did not check for diseases and people got sick, we feel that a program would get started immediately. While if it was a national program it would take much longer. |
