Yes. I have just a brief comment.
In Newfoundland and Labrador, outside of supply management, it's very difficult to get into or start a farm enterprise, because the vegetable industry, the hog industry, and the cattle industry are essentially open to the free market. Farmers in those commodities in the province simply can't compete with the rest of the country or North America.
In Newfoundland and Labrador, we consume in the area of about $120 million to $130 million worth of beef products. Probably about one or two million dollars' worth of that is actually produced in the province, and that's purchased in the fresh market, for instance. Eugene listed a couple of the major supermarkets in the province where someone would go and buy beef, but most of that beef is coming from South America. It's coming from the U.S. and it's coming from other parts of the world.
It's very challenging to get into that industry. As well, the slaughterhouse capacity is not there. So in order to...well, the slaughterhouse capacity is there, I should say, but it's provincially inspected and the federal regime is simply not there through CFIA. That's one issue. We just don't have the capacity in a lot of cases to get into those particular industries.
But in supply management, it's very profitable. It's healthy. Dairy, chicken, and eggs are doing very well. Young farmers who are engaged in that side of agriculture are doing very well and they're able to have a life, as well as running their farm operation.
But the other side of agriculture, in a lot of ways.... Young people are leaving rural towns and communities. They're either going to St. John's, to the urban centre--and that's not a very big area, St. John's, with about 200,000 people--or simply going to Alberta to the oil sands to work. That's one of the challenges we're certainly facing in our province: a lot of young people are not staying in the rural towns and communities.
