It probably was. He mentioned that he makes money when there is something wrong with the crops in the United States, when there is a drought. I got the impression he was the biggest broccoli producer in Canada, and yet he's fighting to survive. Obviously if he's a big producer, he probably has access to technology, so what do we do? The question I am leading to obviously is about the open border for produce. Is there something we can do to maintain our status as a trading nation?
I've talked with the B.C. Fruit Growers' Association about the problem apple growers have in Canada with subsidized applies being dumped in our country. Should we be pushing for some kind of a floor price? Have you folks talked about that at the national level? Obviously we can innovate and innovate, but ultimately if somebody's going to dump some produce here at less than your cost of production, it's hard to survive. So either we just forget about trying to grow and forget about trying to get that 50% ratio, or we try to do something.
I'm wondering if you've thought about that and whether you have any suggestions in that area.
