The Saint-Joseph-de-Kent farm focused primarily on berries, tree fruit and some vegetable crops. It affects our expertise given that we work as part of a network. An experimental farm or a research centre is located in one specific spot, but our strength lies in the ability to harness the entire work. We definitely have methods to work in those areas in Kentville, Nova Scotia, where a large proportion of our people do indeed work in orchards. Many of those efforts were consolidated, and we've been able to use our critical mass in Kentville to help the people there as well. That means, then, that the impact of our research isn't limited to the immediate local area, but that it extends region-wide and often country-wide. So a great many things are happening, as is the case with vegetable crops. Very often, what's being done in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu can be fully applied to or used in New Brunswick as well. That's what a network-based approach using our critical mass can do.
