Just to follow up with Mr. Boyle, I believe that if our country were running at capacity and our herd were normalized--and we're into that rebuild, hopefully--this issue might be bigger than it is today. It's because we're running at such a low volume today that we're not really feeling it. In Ontario we have country-of-origin labelling at the retail counters, but that doesn't stop them from bringing the product up, which they do. They bring it up and they label it accordingly: “Product of U.S.”, or “Product of Canada”. In the United States the major retailers are saying, as Mr. Boyle alluded to, that they want just one label.
So I believe that if we were going full tilt we might be here telling a little different story. But we're kind of rationalizing our packing industry as we speak, letting people go and making us more efficient, etc. I'm not sure it wouldn't be a bigger issue if we were normalized. So I support the effort of this government on its challenges.
Mr. Chair, if we can move along quickly...and I think Mr. Easter brought up the timeline and how long this could take. Somehow we should get it on the fast track, because as I alluded to, I believe we're in the bottom of our supply and we're on our way back up, so we have to prepare for that growth again.
