Thank you.
There's something I'd like to follow up on, if I could. I have a fairly large apple producing area in my riding along Georgian Bay, and a very small wine producing area; they're just starting into that. One thing we have there is getting labour. I think you have the same problems here in B.C. as we do down there. There's a certain amount of unemployment in our area, but for whatever reason Canadians just don't seem to want to go to that labour. So a lot of migrant workers come into my riding, and obviously they are out here. What is the one specific thing or more that government could do to make that program work better for you?
Also, the other part I heard, I believe more on the fruit growing side of it, is the cost of production. The cost of production, to me, is another word for supply management. There's an old saying that there's no such thing as being almost pregnant, you either are or you aren't. To go with supply management, you either have to do it or not.
I know from my non-supply sectors, especially beef, it splits it down to the commodities that largely export versus the ones that don't. That seems to be what it comes down to. I heard Ian's comments about having to shoot a number of his cattle. That's what would happen in the beef and pork industry. To go down that road, it doesn't seem to be as simple as just saying we need the cost of production. It's either totally supply management or not.
It's a very complex issue. The only way that any government is ever going to look at any of that is that it has to be from the industry. We're not hearing that from industry as a whole; we're hearing it from some individuals. That's more a comment than a question, but if anybody could touch on the labour one, it would be interesting.
