It was an idea that was percolating around Agriculture Canada for quite some time as we started looking with envy at some of these markets that had been shrinking with regard to Canadian wares but were being picked up by other people. How do you get trade-specific people on the ground with the knowledge and the backstop from here to get their toe in the door as good salesmen? We began that, and industry added in and told us what they thought it needed and how we should be delivering it.
We've used that as an outline, as a road map forward. Fred Gorrell heads up that market access secretariat, backstopped by some tremendous people. I've had the great opportunity to work with them around the world.
Of course, into the mix we put some top quality CFIA veterinarians. We have a technical person who travels around the world, Dr. Bob Morrison, from Prince Edward Island, actually, who does a tremendous job in working out the technicalities on a lot of these things.
Dr. Gary Little has done yeoman's service in Colombia and Korea on beef. We continue to have discussions with the Koreans even though we have them before the WTO with a panel on beef market access. Our folks just spent another week or 10 days in Seoul pushing that envelope further and further, to the point where it looks like there's a glimmer of hope that we may not have to go all the way through with the panel. We're hopeful that the hammer of the panel, plus the good work done by the market access secretariat, will get that work done in the near future.
