We've estimated our assistance levels to be around 2.5% to 3% of the federal expenditures. We represent 7% of the farm gate. Research is extremely important to all aspects, all parts of the agricultural sector. If we were getting 7% of the budget, we would be able to do wonders. Part of the discussion was around coordination, because we as an industry have to do much better about coordinating how we spend our money. We're spending in excess of $2 million a year through CPRC, our national organizations, and their members--the provincial organizations--on research and innovation. That includes taking it right to the farm and adaptation. We're stepping forward and we're increasing that.
