First of all, other than one apple that's currently being produced on a very limited scale in Canada and is considered GMO, none of the fruits and vegetables that are produced in Canada are GMO, so that aligns us perfectly with trade for Europe. We're much better aligned than corn, soybeans, and canola, because virtually all of that production in Canada is GMO.
The one area, and the area that I did speak on, is pesticides. That's an area where we have ongoing concerns. It's an area where we've had ongoing concerns with our relationship with our U.S. counterparts. It's one where, regrettably, the Canadian producer is actually at a disadvantage over the U.S. producer.
I'll give you an example. I farm within one mile of the U.S. border. When I grow potatoes, if I want to ship those potatoes into a U.S. market, I have to ensure that on those potatoes I'm using only pesticides that are registered in the U.S. The U.S. farmer one mile across the border from me can use pesticides that are not registered in Canada and can ship his product into Canada, and he has no issues.
While Health Canada won't give us the tools that our U.S. counterparts have, they allow that product to come into Canada. It's not a food safety issue, and we're not sure what the issue is, other than a limitation of tools. We're concerned about exactly the same thing in looking at Europe.
