We've been talking a little bit about research. I'd like to follow up on that.
Ms. Cook, this may be most directed to you. We've been paying a one dollar a tonne check-off in western Canada for the last few years, and 50 cents or 52 cents of that has gone to local commissions in the provinces, while 30 cents has gone to the Western Grains Research Foundation, and then three cents to CIGI.
It has accumulated to $100 million now, so we have a significant amount of money in western Canada to go into ag research. What do you see as the future of that fund? Is it being spent effectively? Right now it seems that it's being allowed to accumulate without a lot of money going directly into research, but there is some transitioning happening over the next year with that fund as well, back to the provincial commissions.
Do you have any thoughts on how that might be best spent by way of research for western Canadian grain farmers?
