I would echo Jeff's comments about how innovation is going to be one of the ways that Canadian farmers can separate themselves from the pack. If I were to speak specifically about the pulse industry, five of the seven board members on the Pulse Canada board are farmers, and it's a question I receive all the time. The approach we're trying to take is to show where we are apart from the rest of the suppliers in the world on the health and wellness side as well as on the environmental side. We compete on a global basis, and if we are still competing on a commodity basis, we are going to be challenged because we aren't always going to be the most efficient or the lowest-cost producer. We need investment in science so that we can have innovation to separate ourselves from the pack.
To make one quick comment on your second question, Mr. Easter, I just want to cite an example that's somewhat similar and that shows why Pulse Canada has been a strong supporter of NAFTA harmonization of crop protection product registration. There have been examples in our industry in which U.S. pulse growers have had access to crop protection products that weren't available in Canada. We are a smaller market, and that's why we feel it's important. We are very supportive of what PMRA has done recently to harmonize and look at encouraging companies to register products simultaneously. Also, I'm encouraged to see that PMRA has even started sharing some of the evaluation of products with Australia. This is a way that we can ensure we are getting these reduced-risk products on the market quickly. Again, all the products that are coming out now are far safer than older products. The harmonization of regulations is an important part of competitiveness.
