In provinces like Prince Edward Island, Ontario, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan, we've set up working groups with provincial environment and agriculture departments and farm groups to work on how we change the practices to implement the 4Rs in those areas. While the federal government has been very generous in terms of providing funding for research, they haven't really integrated the 4Rs into the way they talk about these issues in the department itself, unlike provinces like Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Alberta, Ontario, Prince Edward Island where they're really more engaged in extension.
We think that the 4Rs has to be part of an international approach. It's being used in the United States and in parts of Europe. We'd like it to benefit farmers around the world. It's not a proprietary program. We essentially do the science and give it away, and we're engaged in extension efforts around the world.
We just think the federal agriculture department could get behind the program more. It's voluntary and we could see more recognition by the federal government for it.
