As we were preparing our response to the NFU report, one of the things we thought was that it's just an over-simplification of our situation. As we were thinking that, we were also thinking that it's very much like the R-CALF approach in the United States—over-simplifying what the market is, pitting one segment of the industry against another segment of the industry. R-CALF makes no bones that they believe there are only certain people who deserve to be in the beef industry. Then we saw that the Canadian NFU was invited to this meeting in Montana with a number of groups that are known to be of a certain philosophy that we just don't agree with, and a number of quotes were attributed to them that they have not denied, such as being allies with R-CALF, that R-CALF is not the enemy. It's very disturbing to Canadian cattle producers that we've spent millions of dollars fighting for our access in the U.S., fighting against these people, and to have people who claim to be interested in advancing the interests of Canadian cattle producers saying that these guys are our friends and we need to work with them is just beyond the pale.
