I'd like to ask Terry another question that's attached to marketing freedom, and that is, value-adding domestically. You mentioned you had some concerns and that it didn't necessarily benefit farmers.

Value-adding also provides Canadian jobs. I would ask you, is it not a benefit to add to the Canadian job pool by value-adding here domestically? Is that not a positive?
