Canadian farmers are very concerned about what you've just talked about, especially the horticulture industry. That's why we would like to identify Canadian products, so the Canadian consumers, given some of the other fears they have due to what has happened in the past, can identify Canadian production. With all the time and energy spent on implementing on-farm food safety programs, we also need to make sure that retailers are loyal to Canadian producers, rather than importing products when they have no idea of the standards under which they were produced.
