Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I may be splitting my time with the member from Wainwright.
I want to go back to what Mr. Bezan, Mr. Ritz, and some others have talked about in regard to the products and the timelines, like the frost in the fall that you talked about. My biggest problem with this, Dr. Dodds, is that it almost gives the appearance or implies that farmers aren't as smart as they should be and don't know how to use the product. It almost even implies that they're untrustworthy. Being a farmer and knowing a lot of farmers, I can tell you that both are far from the truth.
I know—at least I'm quite sure—that nobody at PMRA meant to imply that, so what are the reasons to justify that? Regardless of whether the product has a timeline as far as frost is concerned, no farmer has been known to deliberately put something in that's going to be bad for the environment. And cost always comes into it as well. A farmer is usually pretty conservative in the pocketbook because his margins are so fine. He's not going to buy something and use it if it's basically not going to give him some kind of financial benefit. Perhaps you could comment on that.
And I have another question. Last Friday, this government announced a new chemicals management plan. I think PMRA will be affected by that, so I'd just like to know how some of those changes are going to affect you. Maybe you could comment on that.
