Mr. Coughlan acknowledged that this will have an impact on farmers and breeders. Given that he specifically said he did not want them to be negatively impacted, and based on what the witnesses have heard today, will the ICBF put it to the board to potentially pause this? I do not buy that it would cause mayhem and confusion to pause for a short period, given the concerns raised. It is a reasonable request a pause to engage and hold a stakeholder forum, as should have been done in the first place. Will the ICBF bring that proposal to the board?
