I was just going to reiterate some of that. We can absolutely be ready for July 12. In fact, we're going to have to be largely ready for May 1. We know from our conversations with the largest packers in the country that they'll be ready even for May 1 to segregate their lines.
The real issue, though, is that we're going to have to be very creative about where we put all this stuff come May 1, or July 12, and all the time in between. Part of the conversations that have to take place with the provinces aren't just about the $80 million and signing federal-provincial agreements, it's also speaking with each of the provinces to ensure they're having the right conversations with their landfill operators and with all the different disposal outlets. It could actually be that come July 12, or even before, we have to store this material somewhere until we really do have a viable disposal mechanism.
We'll be ready. It just won't be as pretty and as clean as we would like it to be, if you will. We certainly won't have the permanent infrastructure in place. Even then, we're really going to have move heaven and earth, and we're going to have to have all the right conversations take place in all of the provinces across the country with all of the industries so this can work.
From the beginning we said, when we did our report, that the challenge here is largely a coordination exercise. Where it really falls apart is that we're trying to coordinate disposal of a product that has essentially no value. We like to pretend that markets will take care of themselves, but we're talking about garbage. It's waste product, it has no value, and if you have to pick it up, in fact it starts to have negative value.
How do we make sure all the right people are having the conversations? That's where we've been trying to put pressure on the provincial government, the various departments in the federal government, and those conversations are going to have to take place every day certainly for the next 12 weeks. And even then, there's no doubt that we're going to have to store some of this material somewhere.
