As a matter of fact, I was able to meet with the Korean ambassador this afternoon, and we'll continue to chat. We held the WTO challenge on beef access in abeyance last July, working as we could to the end of this calendar year to regain access for Canadian beef into the Korean market.
Their inspectors are on the ground here right now. They've been here almost a week inspecting our slaughter facilities that will export into Korea. It seems to be going extremely well. They've had some major problems over there with signing the American free trade agreement. People are still on the streets, but it's an anti-American thing; it's not about food. Canada is still very well respected there. We're hopeful that we can get back into that market in a fulsome way.
When it comes to pork, our guys are looking with envy at the American free trade agreement. We certainly recognize that over time the tariffs will disappear for Americans, but it won't happen immediately. Korea was quite explicit about using Canadian genetics to restock their pork after the foot-and-mouth disease. We've had a tremendous year with Canadian pork going into Korea. We want to maintain that, so we know that we have to continue to work with our trading partners in Korea to make that happen. We're up to the challenge.
