Thank you, Hans and Arthur, for coming up to see us today and giving us your valuable time.
Art, I'm looking at your presentation and I see a number of problems in the industry. I can't help but reflect on a meeting I had with a fellow from Global Orchards or Global Fruit, I think. He showed me this incredible device that he uses to spray pesticide on the apples. They've devised a new apple tree that looks more like a grapevine than an apple tree, and it enables him to really confine the spray and prevent overspraying.
My question to you is this: what's the role of innovation in your industry? How might innovation help you deal with a lot of the issues that you've raised in your presentation? And to what degree will innovation adequately replace the business risk management programs that have now lost close to $425 million in support from the Canadian government?
