When it comes to safety and the quality of the equipment made in Canada, we recognize.... Many of us are farmers. This is perhaps the first time you have so many farmers here all in suits, but at any rate, we're pleased to be here.
When it comes to our members, because they do so much exporting, they typically meet ISO standards. The Canadian Standards Association operates very well in Canada. Our Canadian standards don't always tend to be aligned with those in the United States which, for agricultural equipment are the ASABE standards, but everybody tries to meet the ISO standard.
When we go into new markets, there might be a big demand for our types of equipment, and the quality of the equipment is definitely a big draw. When it comes to meeting standards and exporting more agricultural equipment, the biggest challenge our industry faces, and Geof can expand on this, is the lack of financing. For example, in Latin America, where we don't see a lot of EDC, that's a challenge. The farmers who want to buy quality equipment are penalized financially, because they have to pay higher prices for Canadian-made equipment based on the taxes and tariffs of their own government.
