We know that barley is used to feed hogs, and we hope that pork producers will be willing to increase their production, or at least send what they are currently producing to Europe. However, none of the 27 countries of the European Union are among the 10 biggest export markets for Canadian pork. How will you ensure that our pork is sold in the 27 countries of the European Union, while enough barley is being produced to feed the hogs and export some to Europe?
