This is something our members identified as an important issue.
Recognizing that the laws in Canada and the U.S. were different, our association took the position that this was unfair. So we have addressed it through provincial legislation in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. It's my understanding that Ontario addressed it in 2006. It clearly states in provincial law right now that a dealer's contract cannot be cancelled because he's carrying a competitive short-line or a main-line product.
We were very vocal in getting that change, and we had manufacturers who Howard represents who were very opposed to that change for their reasons. But the main reason why we were very supportive of making that change or requesting that change of provincial governments was because at the end of the day, having the ability to sell multicoloured products, both main line and short line, would benefit our farmer customers.
