The biggest single issue I see is that currently the company that owns ClearOut 41 Plus in Canada has chosen not to participate in GROU, as the other 12 companies did. If the OUI program ended yesterday, let's say, they would be at the table tomorrow to participate because no company can afford or would want to lose the sale of six million litres of product--that's several million dollars' worth of sales they don't want to lose. They can sell that same product through the GROU program, if they choose to participate, if it is the same, and I have no doubt it is the same. If the glyphosate availability was part of the GROU program, you've got exactly, for the growers, what they've got now, plus a lot more. Really, that's the only issue, voluntary participation. Nobody wants to lose sales of six million litres a year for a couple of years. That's like cutting off your nose to spite your face.
