Joe, thank you very much.
We had some farmers and exporters from Canada exporting the very products that you and I looked at on that farm: cucumbers, beets, and these types of things. There is a market for that too. Without question the exporters in this country fully understand that the market is there for these products.
We can produce those products as well as we can produce canola, beef, and pork, and all these other things. It was heartwarming to see. We had a function at the embassy with a lot of importers from China. The interest that the importers had in the green products that are smaller, like cucumbers and beets and that type of thing, and the demand for that... When you look at the population of China and the expansion of the middle class—it's the population of this country every year with money to buy the products that you and I had today for dinner—they want the product.
In a nutshell, these people made sure that the importers in China understood we can produce these high-quality products, and they were done up in a really grand fashion. I'm so proud to see that. Without a doubt they will be selling a lot of these products in China but again it's important to be there.
They were there and they had their products and they were showing their products and they're indicating how they're produced. They are concerned about the environment in China too. They want us to take care of our environment, and we are. They also want the quality products. They want to make sure they have a safe product. Without a doubt the producers or the exporters and the importers we had there were impressed with what they saw. I'm glad you brought that up. It was interesting, to say the very least.
