Thank you very much for your testimony.
The representatives of the Canadian Pork Council suggest some possible solutions, and I appreciate that very much. You talk about changes that should be made to Business Risk Management. It is very helpful to us to determine what pressure we can apply on the government regarding changes so as to improve things for the industry.
The pork industry is very dependent on exports. You spoke about that in your remarks, Mr. Pomerleau. In fact, you all spoke about it. For the United States, 2008 was an exceptional year. Can we say the same of Canada?
