Yes. Primarily it comes back to the issue of farm-safe seed sowed. Again, my background with SeCan--we're a private, not-for-profit corporation, and we sometimes joke that it's a good thing we're not-for-profit because there just isn't a lot of profit there in cereals.
We distribute most of the cereal seed in western Canada. What we find is that you'll launch a new variety, and if you have a good availability the first year, you might sell lots. The next year it'll be a fraction of that, and likely even less the year after.
From a private sector perspective, when you look at a 10- to 12-year timeline to develop a new variety and then you might only get one or two years of sales out of it, it's a very difficult proposition to make that pencil out.
The real concern is from a regulatory perspective. Other developed countries are just about all now compliant with UPOV 1991, which does give some additional protection to plant breeders. It affords them a little more incentive to get involved in plant breeding. We see that Canada is really lagging from that perspective, and our plant breeders' rights legislation provides virtually no protection at all for the use of farm-safe seed, which really undermines the investment.
