I'm a grain farmer so I don't quite understand some of the specifics involved with the marketing of vegetable crops and those types of things, but I do have some knowledge of the potato industry.
I will ask the CFIA about inspection costs per acre and so on. People are taking a look for soil-borne diseases in the plants as they are growing. I know that one of the arguments has been that the costs have escalated immensely in the last little while. The reality is that you can find out what the issues are if you simply take the soil off the potatoes when they are coming in. It is not really going to change the ultimate issue. If they are not able to be dealt with they are not able to be dealt with.
I'm wondering if we are looking at innovative ways of managing some of the risks that are there when we take a look at crop rotations, analysis of all other aspects. There have been some concerns in that area and sometimes people are saying that maybe we've overreached. Sometimes they simply look at the costs and ask where this is going and what the advantages are.
