Veterinary fees and TB-free status
McCartan asked about veterinary fees and when the herd might be declared TB-free; the Minister deferred the questions, and McCartan narrowed his follow-up to fees, which the Minister said was a separate question.
With regard to the extent of the testing that has been carried out will the Minister advise the House as to the amount paid in fees to the veterinary profession? Will the Minister advise the House as to when he expects the national herd to be declared free of bovine TB, a question that is on the Order Paper in the name of Deputy Mac Giolla?

I do not wish to tell the Chair his job but I would prefer to take the questions in order.
