The agency would certainly be very interested in registering this particular new variety of barley. The agency seeks to balance its mandate for protection with enabling innovation on the part of industry. In this particular case, what we're seeing is a variety that's coming forward with a significantly different composition in terms of the barley, the nutritional profile, and the composition.
Barley going into feed, that characteristic, that attribute, then triggers the need for an assessment, and that's why it is considered to be novel, in our view. The assessment then looks at human health, animal health, environmental, and worker safety in terms of exposure, and the agency is positioned to be able to do that kind of assessment in this particular case relatively quickly. I think we would be able to do that assessment in about 60 days.
I'm also pleased to be able to tell you we're working closely with the research centre in Saskatchewan, and we've agreed to meet in the next week and a half, I believe it is, to discuss this specific issue and see how we can expedite this.
