Thank you, Mr. Chair. I probably won't take the full five.
It's interesting to hear our problems today. I was watching a TV production not too long ago about the hog producers in Nova Scotia. They were meeting, I think, just recently, with their minister to see what their future might be.
Historically with hogs, economists have described it as a cobweb industry--a cobweb theory--in terms of how hogs are produced and what the industry looks like. Maybe it's already been answered. But in terms of that concept of getting bigger and bigger, we reach a point where the cobweb falls. Are we at an optimum level of production in this country in terms of what we can sustain in domestic and export production? Is the cobweb too big at the present time, or is it at a place where it can still be supported in the sun to be a viable industry?
