We have several examples where Canadian industry, because of such a great dependence on exports, has been quite adept at creating standard specifications. For example, in Japan there are a couple of cuts that really originated between Canadian suppliers and Japanese buyers. Canadians are known as being able to take care or attend to, and not afraid to change our production lines to meet these specifications. Jean-Guy has already in his text mentioned the Anuga show. We have a lot of people with European meat industry roots in our meat trade industry. Some of them will now start to develop these relationships, to begin the business of developing trade relationships between Canada and the European Union.
