Mr. Thompson, thanks for the question about producer ownership. It's unfortunate that I don't have another two hours to answer that particular question. We need to think bigger, not smaller, on the farm ownership thing. We need coordination. We saw exactly what happened with the idea of producer-owned packing plants. We had a hundred different initiatives all over Canada. You toss out a bit of money and they do a feasibility study. The money goes to consultants more than anything, with no coordination on what you're really going to get in the end.
In this province we could own the biodiesel industry if we all got together and had a larger initiative. It really boils down to bucks and coordination.
I know of an ethanol plant in Ontario that took five years to raise enough capital just to get off the ground.
I live by Lloydminster. They announced that they were going to build an ethanol plant there and started construction right away. Raising capital is a huge issue, and you've got to be committed to it. If you really want to see it happen, you can make it happen.
