I think one of the most important things—I'm saying this from a trade aspect as an industry—and one of the greatest benefits for us was, although I don't want to sound trite, one-stop shopping. For industry to deal with government, sometimes we get a little overwhelmed with which department we should go to. Once we get that figured out, then it's who do we go to in the department.
But with the Market Access Secretariat, with Fred Gorrell heading it up, if we as an industry have a problem, we know exactly where to go. Fred marshalls the forces. That's extremely powerful. We save so much time in being able to go to one person of contact. Now, I'm not saying that Fred does it all; he's able to rely upon the resources of AAFC, Health Canada, CFIA, and the Canadian Grain Commission as required, and he brings those together. That's extremely powerful. I would say that needs to be supported on an ongoing basis.
As I said earlier in my comments—and I think I can speak for my industry colleagues—it needs to be properly resourced going forward. If that means more staff, I know that's a tough one in today's economic climate, but we need to have resources there, both human and financial, to help us work through our market access issues.
