Thank you, Alex.
I think this really is something that's needed. As we have globalized our markets, what's happened is that farmers have been forced into an increasingly competitive environment. It's simple economics. As that has driven up our competition, and we're suddenly in competition with every product around the world, that increased competition level has driven down our prices. There are extreme cases of that--the dumping, for instance--but there are everyday instances as well, such as when all of our canola is in competition with Brazilian soy, etc.
At the same time, my colleagues have mentioned market concentration. As our competition levels have gone up as a result of globalization, the people we deal with on both sides, our input suppliers and the people who buy from us, have merged and concentrated. Their competition level has gone down, which means their profits have gone up.
So competition levels and profits on the farm and off the farm have gone in opposite directions. It's absolutely essential that we do something on both the critical issue of dumping and the chronic problems that we see there.
