Thank you.
Mr. Aitken, maybe I can send the same question your way. You've been concentrating a lot of your efforts on exports, but do you have any thoughts on processing and how it relates to food security?
In the summer, just before Parliament started in September, I took a trip out to the Okanagan. I was talking with some ranchers there who were talking about the struggles they were having when big processing plants had closed down and they really had to find innovative ways to process beef locally for a local market.
Do you have anything that you can offer to our committee to help us with this particular aspect of our study?
