I think there is a place in Atlantic Canada for, I'm going to say, small-scale processing facilities that serve a local market. I'll probably get shot for saying this when I get back home, but I don't think it's realistic that we would have a viable, federally inspected commercial processing facility with the livestock base that we have. We've managed to adapt our industry very well in Atlantic Canada. We're doing well. We're producing specialty products, mostly in partnership with processors in Quebec. We produce antibiotic-free pork, humane pork, and high-health pathogen-free pork, and it's worked out quite well. I think that Atlantic Canada has carved itself out a very innovative and adaptive niche market that we're settling into quite comfortably, the potential of which we are just starting to tap. We have markets we can't fill.
