I would agree with that. I would also agree that it fits in very nicely with our overall mandate to provide grain quality assurance for our customers, both Canadians and our customers abroad. It is an integral component of what we do. It's equally important to the grading work we do, the setting of standards we do, the arbitration work, the licensing, and our role in registering varieties. It's all very important work, but do not underestimate the importance of research in that equation.
