I think the forum can be good, but the basis upon which you're making decisions in the forum is crucial. I know the temptation in politics is to make them on what's popular or what's going to have impact in terms of a vote, but if you're making them, I would make the appeal that what needs to be used in this area in particular is the very best of our science.
When you have population bases that really have little to no understanding of agriculture and agricultural biotechnology, we've seen, I think, some real pitfalls to just having a public forum. The pressures are huge, then, on political decision-makers to really take a look at what the science is and what the impact is.
From a provincial point of view, we are very dependent upon trade, and the bulk of our grain and oilseeds trade, particularly in canola, has some very clear GMO implications. I think this is a minefield, and the best of science is essential in your decision-making.
