I would just say that Canada does have a very competitive fertilizer market. Not only do we have many large fertilizer companies in Canada, but there are many companies that are importing fertilizer products into Canada.

I would point out that when Keystone Agricultural Producers did their report on Canada-U.S. prices and submitted that to the Competition Bureau, it was Keystone Agricultural Producers that said that the Competition Bureau said there was no need to investigate.

So I think the assumption that there isn't competition in Canada is simply wrong.
