I thought it was a great idea. Did any of the witnesses come across that yet? I do not know where the veterinary bodies are on that. They might or might not like it. We will hear that next week. The Department is not doing a lot about it yet. These are things that could help resolve issues. Did the witnesses hear anything on that?
The witnesses talked about next year being a reference year on fertilisers. Is that what they are getting from the Department? Will fertiliser be gettable next year? That is the first thing, before we do a reference on anything. What are their views from talking to different bodies about that? Are they for a fertiliser register or opposed to it?
