In terms of this specific situation I don't have any words of wisdom to offer. I can only say that it's not unusual for us at the department to get representation from various aspects of the industry who may have different points of view on the best solutions. What we try to do is be neutral and bring the dialogue together and do what we can. In this case I'm also certain that our colleagues at the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food are working hard for a resolution of this because overall the goal is to improve the economic performance of these companies and companies that include producers. On this particular one I have no solution to offer.
