Anyone looking at this objectively would have to acknowledge that while there may be...

Martin Kenny: I welcome Mr. Power and thank him for his presentation. Many of the issues have been dealt with. Produce moving back and forth across the Border is a big issue.

Likewise, in the case of cattle, many farmers from the North buy their weanlings in the South and move them back to the...
