With respect to the question you had on reducing Canada's dependence on exports, I guess I would like to say that I could predict very accurately what might happen in the next 10 to 20 years, but I think I can just broadly say that Canada will always be a great exporting nation in this world. We simply don't have the population to consume everything that we produce in this country, and we, as you said, are blessed with a great land base that is very productive. So we simply will continue to be very efficient and very productive farmers and, therefore, processors in this country. And I don't believe that we will ever be able to decrease, in a significant way, our dependence on exporting to other countries around the world.
