We've been talking a lot about BRM, and the crisis in the livestock industry is no doubt why the questioning today has gone that way. As a producer, I know that my future and the future for my kids on the farm is going to be what we do in science and technology, what we do in market development.
Andrew, in your opening comments you did touch on those areas, looking at our competitive position, especially the cost of our regulatory environment versus those of other countries around the world. I was wondering if you would be able, with the help of Dr. Fortin and Madam Mountjoy, to talk a little bit more about what we're doing to enhance the long-term viability of the industry in research, development, new innovation, new technology, and new markets.
