For a highly traded product such as beef, the last thing we want to see is that we're pushing production to another jurisdiction that doesn't have the same level of performance as the Canadian beef industry does. Just as an example, for the Canadian beef industry, our greenhouse grass production per kilogram of live weight produced is about half, 50%, of the world average. We want to make sure that we're not pushing production somewhere else, and that we're supporting agricultural producers here in Canada. I think it's extremely important that not be confused with a lack of environmental commitment. It's just not the right tool for a highly traded product such as beef. The policies that Andrea has presented and our previous presentations on this topic put forward some really excellent areas that we know will continue to advance the production of very sustainable beef in Canada.
