I was just going to make a couple of comments.
Certainly Atlantic Canada understands that there are national principles. A lot of people have talked about them: equity and fairness across provinces and in international trade.
Just remember where we're coming from. We understand that we're affected by global trade and that growth means good economic activity for all Canadian farmers. We understand that. We're in a domestic market here. We think we have good farmers. We have good land. From a competitiveness point of view, our biggest threat is Canadian producers, not international producers. It's pretty easy to move product down here, especially when you don't have processing. I'd make that comment.
The other comment I'd try to make is on the R and D side and innovation. It's difficult when you're small to capture revenues to do good innovation. If innovation means genetic modification and things like that, and all that development is taking place in other parts of the country, then we try to make the argument that we need support to take these genes that are introduced into these crops and fit them into our farming system, which essentially has had to change since we got out of livestock.
I'd just like to put that on the table, too. We want to see that pot maintained, because part of our success is going to be based on R and D and innovation, in addition to safety nets.
