Let me comment on that. I actually don't think it's criminalizing it. I think it's clarifying it. Right now it is unclear. There might be a common understanding but it's not defined anywhere. I think through this bill we're making a very real attempt to clarify what is a farmer's privilege in terms of seed or a farmer's right in terms of seed. I don't want to get into the semantics of privilege versus right, because you know the legislation is actually talking beside that little title about what is actually incorporated. I would think that the clarity actually would be helpful to farmers as opposed to perhaps being in the unclear situation of what a commonly understood definition might be even though it's not in writing anywhere.
