I would agree with what Ron stated, as far as the research side is concerned. Having proper research, and the proper researchers in agricultural universities and colleges across Canada, is important for us, so grassroots farmers can take that research and be more productive. We have to keep reminding ourselves that it's okay to be a commercial family farm; there is nothing wrong with that. I think there you get that public trust or social licence dichotomy happening again. There is nothing wrong with my having a big farm and my family running it and producing lots of good-quality, local, fresh eggs for consumers in Manitoba and the rest of Canada. I think there are lots of positives there for us already.
