Yes, they are. We have just set up an external advisory committee—a joint committee with CFIA and Health Canada—to look at some of the strategic directions in which we need to move to satisfy the regulatory requirements, health and safety, and competitive issues such as cost. Livestock producer associations are also involved. We have the Canadian Cattlemen's Association in that expert advisory committee, along with the Canadian Pork Council. In our task force, we talked about personal-use importation. The key issue was the price differential, which is a big issue for the farming industy. We've also consulted with provincial organizations. We've had the livestock producer associations involved in order to provide us with recommendations on strategies that will allow us to balance health and safety with some of the competitive issues we are seeing as we move forward.
