I have three questions, one for each of you.

The first is for Kathleen. In the paper you sent, in the last paragraph you said, “9 out of every 10 farms in Canada depend on exports”. I don't know where that number came from. I find it hard to believe, with so many small farmers, farmers' markets, and supply management in the local horticulture industry. When you look at the exporters, they are big farms. Where did that number come from?
