Yes, you're quite right. With respect to China, there have been some blackleg problems. That's very top of mind for the minister and, in fact, for the Prime Minister. We've had a number of delegations to China. At this point, there are two plants that will accept positive tests for blackleg to do crushing and five that will accept negative.
CFIA continues to participate with Agriculture Canada in efforts to move the Chinese towards a more open market. As you know, blackleg is not uncommon in the seed, and it doesn't affect either the healthiness or the physical appearance of the oil after crushing. We think we can work with the Chinese to continue to open up. In fact, the Chinese are signalling to us that they expect a very significant increase, in the area of $180 million, I believe, in canola seed exports--or imports, from their point of view--in the coming year.
On the meal side, the issue there is salmonella in meal, meal that is destined not for human consumption but for animals. Again, we're working with United States officials and with the plants involved to make sure they can get off the restriction list that they're put on if there's a salmonella test. These are routine tests. If there is a finding, they go on an import restriction list until they demonstrate to the USDA that they've cleaned up the problem. We expect that we'll clean up and get the companies off the list fairly quickly.
