I'll respond to the first question.
Ken and I attended a presentation by Jay Bradshaw from Syngenta last week, and he referred to science and technology in agriculture. It's amazing what my ignorance of agriculture is. I didn't know that they made snow tires out of walnuts these days. That's a pretty interesting thing in terms of how to use different agricultural products for things that really aren't food.
We had Don Floyd, who is the CEO of the 4-H program in the United States, meet with our board of directors last November. The 4-H program in the U.S. has committed, and I'm not sure what the timeframe is, to create one million new scientists in the United States. One of the things we're looking at doing is trying to introduce science and technology into the 4-H program with the express purpose of making people aware of exactly what the opportunities are.
One neat thing that Don Floyd told us about is that the day they launched this “one million new scientists” program, they had 4-H members across the U.S.A. making ethanol. That's unbelievable.
Wayne, I don't know whether you would have done that, back in the old dairy days.
That being said, one of the things we are looking at doing is talking to people in other areas of the industry. We've been in contact with people from crop protection. We were talking last week with the deans of agriculture and veterinary medicine across the country to create an agricultural science summit that would be a sort of launching pad for us to introduce science and technology to the 4-H members. When we talk about more funding, we see a significant amount of money coming from the private sector, but certainly we would support the Government of Canada's providing support in that way.
I don't know whether these guys want to answer that last question, but maybe I'll start off the discussion in that regard.
One thing I referenced in our presentation specifically was a comment from a young lady in her early twenties who was married a year ago. She is from Russell, Ontario. She and her husband just bought a farm in Renfrew. There was some difficulty with the financing, but what she talked specifically about was programs whereby you would do exactly the matching that you're talking about: match people who are going to be exiting the farm with people who want to be farmers and teach them how to do it and give them the opportunity to do it. I keep harping on the urban; there are probably a lot of young people who in fact could enter agriculture that way.
Ladies?
