Thank you very much, all of you, for honouring the time.
There is one comment that I'll come back to later. Ms. Ross, you just mentioned an ongoing problem about the actual profit or the price of food products that farmers produce. You're going to have processors who need to make money as well. At the same time, I think there's a general feeling out there that we need a little more. It goes back to the fact that the percentage of our disposable income that is spent on food has been continually dropping, I think about 8% or 9%, if I have the figures right, in recent years.
There seems to be a mindset here that we have to have cheap food. I'd like some comments towards that. I think consumers have to realize that they're going to have to pay more if they want good Canadian food.
Anyway, I'll turn it over to Mr. Valeriote for seven minutes.
