My friends across the way hit the nail on the head, actually. It is restrictive and is intended to be so. It doesn't restrict the amount they can collect. It simply says that you can't start picking away at it at the beginning, at the middle, at the end, and perhaps even to sell it. That's really all it's saying.
For example, if you want to charge a dollar—let's use an easy number—for the entire system, you don't get to charge 33-1/3, then 33-1/3 and 33-1/3. You charge a dollar. You actually know up front what it's going to be. I don't end up with it picking away at me all the way through the system to find out that it ends up being $1.10.
I hear what the regulatory process says and I'm not suggesting anything otherwise. That may happen. I unfortunately didn't hear the minister, as wasn't here that day, but I did read it. I hear what my friends are saying about what the minister was saying as well. No doubt that will probably happen. This purposely is restrictive. We're not going to claim that it's not. It's intentionally so. There is a fear out there that this is what will happen, that we'll see this cascading royalty piece come into play. What it will mean for farmers is less money in their pockets and more money in someone else's pockets. It's pure and simple as that.
We're probably on opposite ends of the pole on this particular one. That's okay. It just gives folks an opportunity to look at one side or the other of whether this should be a type of restrictive piece. Ultimately it's not. I'm going to say it again, that it doesn't restrict the tech firm from actually charging you royalty and getting the money they think is fair based on what they do. It doesn't restrict that piece, but simply restricts it from pecking away at it all the way down the ledger.
