Could I just add something to the point?
Pre-BSE, the Canadian industry—I don't know if we ever really touched on it, but I think it's a very important point to look at.... As a company, when we were on a level playing field, we were importing cows from the U.S. and processing, slaughtering, and deboning them in Canada. We increased our capacity year after year pre-BSE to accommodate a lot of these American cows that are right on our border in Quebec. We were doing a lot and importing jobs into Canada, when we were on a level playing field. It's very frustrating for us as a company to be in this situation. We never looked for government money or handouts ever, but when it comes to a situation when you're in dire need and ready to close your doors, I think it's very clear now.
You have to forgive me for being so up front, but I think it's very important to understand that the players who are left in the industry today—and there are not many left—are serious players who have been through many ups and downs in the beef cycle. The fact is that when we were on a level playing field, we were able to compete as well as or better than many of our American counterparts.
