I'll come back to my point that I think confirms what we just heard. I think obviously the Canadian agricultural system is geared towards export. I think it will increasingly orient itself towards that, and I think that's appropriate. Simultaneously, I think we need to be maintaining local supply chains, local food sovereignty, as an insurance policy, as I said, or as a plan B that acts as a buffer between the vagaries of the international market and the individual consumer. I think this is that portfolio approach. The sensible portfolio manager will try to create a high-returns/low-risk portfolio that will have adequate cash reserves to maintain a client through tough economic times. I think our food system has to be seen in a similar way. We need the high productivity systems. We need to have tough environmental legislation to protect them. We need to maintain food sovereignty at a local level, which is a lower productivity system but reduces risk, and we need better food storage to act as our bag of bullion that we hide under the floor boards to keep us when things go really badly.
