| Certainly, we hope that as the science and the work is done that we will be able to remove some of those quarantines. |
| The Quarantine Act allows the government to enforce quarantines and compliance. |
| We can also do it more frequently, so we've been able to shorten and reduce some quarantines that way. |
| Animals need to be handled less often, and the number and duration of quarantines have been minimized. |
| Two quarantines have been lifted and 11 more are scheduled to be lifted by August 4, provided there are no more animal losses on those farms. |
| As the number of quarantines rose, more producers were required to bear the associated costs. |
