It is important to understand that Canadian production has declined in the last five or six years. But world demand is increasing and will continue to do so. So we need the pork industry, both producers and processors.
We have to make sure that we keep our processing jobs. Canada is very diversified when it comes to meat-packing. Capacity is suffering because production has decreased. A new, secure, stable market and solid agreements will allow us to stabilize our production sector. Otherwise, we cannot provide the product and we cannot continue. In that sense, I feel that this agreement has promise for the future.
