We view everything in terms of regulations we have in Canada. Do we want to face those same regulations in other countries? As I said, we export about 1.3 million head of cattle into the U.S. per year. In 2007 we imported just over 5,000 head. In 2006 we imported just over 7,000 head. The number of cattle we import into Canada is minuscule. Almost all the beef coming out of the Canadian packing plants comes from Canadian-born animals. So I guess the question is, where is the cost benefit in that?
