We would expect the market will determine more accurately where wheat breeders will be concentrating their efforts. We have some evidence that Canadian breeders have been trying to register some non-KVD varieties outside of Canada simply because there was no possibility of registering them within Canada. Given the current economy of high price for milling wheats, I would suspect that perhaps that's where they're focused and less on non-KVD varieties. As we know, the marketplace and demands in the agricultural sector change from time to time, and the elimination of KVD will create opportunities for breeders of new varieties of wheat to go after the opportunities where they exist.
