Not on the government side, at least that I'm aware of, but definitely on the research side; for example, every provincial beekeeper will get together, a group of apiarists. But often we find that, when we do have government to government at the provincial level reaching out, it's not at senior levels. It's more about the working levels, so while they're sharing information, they're not the ones who make decisions.
We see federally it would be great if, during the FPT meetings, those things were really brought to bear. For example, you definitely know the different rules for how you operate in Quebec and Ontario, more than anywhere else, and that doesn't really make a lot of sense when you consider that most agriculture production is actually out west.
That would be a good initiative, at least at the senior level, because it's definitely at the working grassroots level, but they're not the ones who can change regulations or push through legislation. They're the ones who work with industry and do extension work.
