Mr. Chairman, we won't discount the importance of BRM, but as I presented this morning, strategic growth is an area on which we could concentrate a lot more. We've seen examples of that already with the funding initiatives for the biofuels. Those area strategic investments in a sector that has had its challenges. This perhaps provides opportunity in that sector—hopefully producer-led opportunity--or producer involvement in the actual building of the ethanol and biodiesel plan, as real stakeholders.
Strategic growth involves other aspects, such as science and innovation. It's a method of governments partnering with industry to get the industry to the next level. That's why we've often thought of our national replant program initiative as fitting that particular description. It's a partnership; it's not a bailout. It's a way of getting a sector to be globally competitive and remain an integral part of rural Canada, and a contributor to that economy and the overall agricultural economy of Canada.
I think what's lacking here is perhaps that type of focus. We need to direct dollars into...maybe it's infrastructure. In our replant program there is kind of an investment in infrastructure, but if that's what it takes to make an industry viable, then let's look at those kinds of options.
