Thank you very much, gentlemen, for being here.
I just want to clarify in my own mind. I thought that in Canada, especially in western Canada, we had a quality of wheat and durum that's second to none, that's valued around the world. Our farmers are efficient. They produce high yields, and the reason they haven't really been making money is not because of them or the quality of their product; it's because of this situation in the world in regard to trade and subsidies.
Now the message I'm getting is that we need more variety, and the more variety we have the more money we can get to farmers. So I don't quite understand that. This is a serious question. I just don't quite understand. We have the quality. We have good wheat. We have the marketing. We can sell it. We're not making money because of certain forces. And yet the message I'm hearing from you folks, and Mr. Reid especially, is that we need more varieties.
How does that coincide with making more money for farmers in that whole area? That's my first question.
