Just to answer that first, Mr. Chair, if I may, it's a very appropriate discussion, because it's one that my wife and I are having an awful lot these days.
We have a 30-year-old son who's working in the oil patch in northern B.C. He makes more money than all us in this room, if we combine a bunch, and it's very difficult for me to talk to my son.
I'm 57 years old now, and we need to retool. We are working on the basics of a dried cherry business that we're trying to develop. We need to switch up some varieties and look at some new markets, given what we're talking about here. So we're at a retooling stage.
The foundation is there. My grandfather planted the foundation in 1921. We're in a position now that we have to go with the next generation, and I need my son's energy. It's really difficult for me.
I'd love to respond to that question with a really good answer, but right now I'm competing with a huge wage in the north and I just can't draw him back. I don't have anything to offer him to bring him back to the farm, other than a whole mess of work and no money at this point. So it's difficult.
